Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

Larysa je ukrajinská, bieloruská a poľská podoba mena Larisa, prevzatého z gréckeho Larisa/Larissa (Λάρισα/Λάρισσα). Meno sa spája s názvom mesta Larisa v Tesálii. Pri tomto miestnom názve sa predpokladá predgrécky pôvod a význam „pevnosť, citadela“, jeho najstaršia etymológia však nie je bezpečne objasnená. Status unknown označuje túto neistotu, nie pochybnosť o gréckom sprostredkovaní mena.

Sources and scholarly methodology: Etymológia: Etymologický slovník ukrajinského jazyka, heslo Лариса; neistotu pôvodu uvádzajú aj Lawson a Nevo: Russian Given Names. Jazykové varianty: Behind the Name: Larysa; maďarská podoba: Larissza. Francúzske a španielske Lara sú skrátené príbuzné podoby. Slovenské skloňovanie je odvodené podľa vzoru žena; zdrobneniny okrem doloženej podoby Lara sú slovotvorne prirodzené možnosti, nie overený rebríček obľúbenosti. Konkrétne heslo v publikácii Milana Majtána ani stanovisko JÚĽŠ SAV k podobe Larysa nebolo priamo overené.
