Wikidata records this spelling as a given name in Dutch, English, French and Italian. That is where the name is used, not necessarily where it comes from.
Rare spellings summarised here: Laryssa (1,239), Laurissa (744), Laresa (408), Larrissa (348), Larrisa (330), Laurisa (310), Laressa (257), Lariza (192), Larysa (155), Larosa (112), Lareesa (48), Lauressa (7), and more.
Numbers are all-time US births. Links come from Wikidata’s “said to be the same as” (P460, CC0) and our spelling rule: at most two letters different, with the same sound pattern.
