"Raissa" (spelled in English with 2 's' to avoid the misreading of 'Raiza') is a common Russian female name with diminutive "Raya." The latter means 'paradisiac' in Russian (or 'from the paradise') and 'princess' or 'mistress' in Arabic, which is why the saying "She is such a raissa" also means "She is such a royalty" (whether 'spoiled brat' or 'lofty' and 'cute'). Historically speaking, the name originates from the Ancient Greek 'Herais' Ηραις, a derivative from the name of the Greek goddess Hera, from which we have words like Hero, Heroic, and even Heraldry (Nobility). That's the main root and meaning of the name RAISSA = Heroic and Noble, with the connotation of Divine (Paradisiacal).
