Clerissa

Clerissa is a Latin-originated baby name traditionally given to girls. It is derived from the Latin name Claire or Clarice and a spelling variant of Clarissa, all meaning 'bright' or 'famous.' Therefore, the meaning of Clerissa is 'bright' or 'famous.' As a variant of Clarissa, the name also means 'Bright-minded' in German. The root word of the name, Clara, was initially meant to identify a nun from the Order of St. Clare. It was formed by combining St. Clare's given name, Clara, with the -Issa suffix. The name is also viewed as a derivative of the French Clarus, meaning 'bright' or 'clear.' Clerissa, as a derivative of Clarice, features in Jodie Foster's 1991 movie titled 'The Silence of the Lambs,' under the name Clarice Starling. Contemporary notables bearing the name or its variant include Clarissa Harlowe Barton, a 19th-century American nurse and founder of the American Red Cross; Anne Clarissa Eden, an English memoirist, Countess of Avon, and one of the wives of Anthony Eden, who was the British prime minister between 1955 and 1957; Clarissa Kyoko Mei Ling Chun, an American Olympic wrestler, and coach; Agatha Mary Clarissa Christie, an English writer, and novelist; and Clarissa Eshuis, a New Zealand professional field hockey player.
