Fedrisza
I have a coworker named Fedrisza, and I can't find anything about this name on the internet. Where does this name come from? What does it mean?

Hi !!!
The 'sz' looks Polish.
I found the names:
Fryderyka > Fedrisza (see Friederike)
Fedra > Fedrisza (see Phaedra)
Possibly Fedrisza could be the diminutive of one of these Polish names. I pur it close to them as you can see the similar look.
...Hungarian names have often the 'zs' (J) sound, not the 'sz' (sh) one.

Hungarian has both an s-sound and an sh-sound. It is a bit confusing that Hungarian has it the other way around than Polish, the sh-sound is spelled "s" in Hungarian, and the s-sound is spelled "sz". In addition, Hungarian has the spelling "zs" for the zh-sound and uses the trigraph "dzh" of the j-sound, only the correspondence "z" (spelling) to the z-sound is as in English.
Hmm, I don't think so. It doesn't sound like a nickname one would naturally arrive at in Polish.
The name seems to be unique or almost unique, I find exactly one person with that name and spelling on the internet.
Maybe the name is related to the surname Fedrizzi which is of Italian or Ladinian origin, and also found in German speaking countries (Austria and Germany).

It would seem to be Filipino and of Spanish-Germanic origin. Fedrizzi may be formed similarly though. SugarPLum probably has the origin right.

Looks Hungarian, but that's it.
Perhaps a variant of Federica?
Have you asked her?
Do you know her ethnicity? That might help. Otherwise my very uneducated guess is that it could me a form of Feodora?
