Larisa is a first name for girls.
There’s a good chance that a girl named Larisa in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Larisa in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 girls is named Larisa by her parents. In the ranking of most common girls names in recent years, Larisa ranks at #5,817. That means there are 5,816 more common girls names, but there are also a few thousand that are even rarer. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Larisa.
Larisa is a quite familiar phenomenon. Before 1900, the name wasn't really on the radar of expectant parents. It took a while, but then, unexpectedly, Larisa cried out for attention, reaching rank 988 in 1968. So, schoolkids of the late 19th century probably didn't have classmates named Larisa and it has never reached the top 100 list in our statistics, but for a while it became more and more fashionable in the last century, which makes Larisa really in tune with her generation.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Larisa was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
18 babies were named Larisa in 2022 - that's 1 in 8,235,106 newborn girls. With this number, the girls' name Larisa ranked 5,665 in our SmartGenius first name statistics in 2022, the most recent year for which first records are available.

In proportion to the female population, most women and girls with the first name Larisa live in California, and even there the name is rather special – only one in 32,848 would turn around if you called the name Larisa across California.
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter L is a particularly popular initial letter for girls' names – 6.8% of all common girls’ names in the US begin with this letter.

If your name is Larisa and someone asks after your name, you can of course just tell them what it is. But sometimes that isn't so easy - what if it's too loud, and you don't understand them well? Or what if the other person is so far away that you can see them but not hear them? In these situations, you can communicate your name in so many other ways: you call spell it, sign it, or even use a flag to wave it...
