Marissa is 玛丽莎 (Mǎlìshā) in Chinese. To say “My name is Marissa”, say 我叫玛丽莎 (Wǒ jiào Mǎlìshā).
Nothing as a whole: Chinese picks 玛丽莎 for how it sounds, Mǎlìshā, close to Marissa. On its own, 丽 means beautiful.
Marissa is written 玛丽莎, 3 characters: 玛 (7 strokes), 丽 (7 strokes), 莎 (10 strokes). Each is drawn stroke by stroke on this page, in the order you write it.
By sound, with characters picked for how they are said: Michael is 迈克尔 (Màikè’ěr). Newspapers, subtitles and books use one usual form for each common name.
A name made the Chinese way: a one-character family name first, then one or two characters picked for their meaning. Many learners use one in class.
It’s a starting point. Ask a Chinese speaker or teacher before you put it on anything that lasts, like a tattoo or a document.
