Nerissa is such a beautiful name it reminds me of a well spoken beautiful honourable lady or socialite from the 1920s/30s. I can imagine a Nerissa holding grand parties in a large English country house filled with attractive and erudite finely dressed people.

That is my name. I love that my mother named me this, it is a unique (like me), and I am very proud to have it. My mother just wanted to me to have a different name and I am so happy she did.

Disney aren't the type of place that makes up name spellings, they may find it from somewhere or even the producer's or writer's daughter could be called Narissa.
