Marisa Kirisame

Her surname Kirisame (霧雨, lit. "mist rain") means "drizzle" in Japanese. The kanji used in her given name "ma" (魔) is highly likely to come from the "ma" in mahou (魔法, "magic") and with ri (理) able to be interpreted as "logic/law/theory" (理 kotowari), it can be said that they deliver the idea of her being a magician/witch. In addition, the kanji 沙 (sa lit. "small sand") doesn't have an actual meaning but often used in Japanese given names to get the sound/look of "girlishness" (different kanji, but the same idea is used in Minamitsu Murasa's name too). Marisa is also a female given name with origins in the Romance languages, and if her name was based on this, then it's very likely to indicate the nature of Marisa being a mix character of both Eastern and Western culture.
