Larissa (Ancient Greek: Λάρισα) is a female given name of Greek origin that is common in Eastern European nations of Orthodox church heritage. It is derived either from Larissa, a nymph in Greek mythology who was a daughter of Pelasgus, or from the name of the ancient city of Larissa in Greece which meant "citadel" or "fortress" in a now extinct Pre-Greek substrate language.[1]

The name is spelled Λάρισα in modern Greek and Лариса in Cyrillic, and based on either may also be Latinised as Larisa. It is used in Russian, Ukrainian, Romanian, and Latvian languages.[2] In 2009, Larisa was the 21st most common name for girls born in Romania.[3]

A Russian short form is Lara, made famous through Boris Pasternak's novel Doctor Zhivago (1957).[2]
