"Sweet little Marisa" or some other such term of affection is an English equivalent of "Maruzzella."

Specifically, the Italian word "Maruzzella" is a diminutive of affection. It is formed by adding the suffix "-ella" to the feminine first name "Marisa." But this is done Naples style.

The pronunciation is "MAH-roots-TSEH-lah."
