[Facts] She is stretching the meaning of one possible etymology for Laris(s)a
The "laughter" part comes from a hypothesis for Laris(s)a derivated from the Latin hilaris or hilarus, "cheerful", from the Greek ilarós, with the same meaning. Probably someone related "cheerful" with "laughter", but are two different things and have different words in Greek.
