I am an owner of this name (with a different spelling which some of you touched on) I was born in the early 80's and my name was very uncommon. It didn't become popular until early 90's in the states.
Carissa can also be spelled with a K instead of an C, have an E in place of the 1st A and may have one S instead of two (exp: Karisa, Kerisa, Cerisa, etc)The name is of Greek origin and means loving.
Out of the few Carissas (and variant spellings) I've met, one is so abusive and hurtful to those around her that every time I meet someone with this name (regardless of spelling) I tend not to like them because of her.*sorry to all of you who bear this name, I am positive you are all very nice people - it's just how I feel at the moment.
