Lyssa

Meaning of Lyssa

Lyssa is a breezy twist on the familiar Alyssa, sailing back to Greece where the alyssum flower blooms and Melissa means “honey-bee.” Old myths add a playful spark, painting Lyssa as a spirited goddess who danced with raw emotion—sugar and spice in one short word. Indian parents hear its lilt and think of cool lassi on a summer day, light yet lively. Easy to say, easy to spell, it pops like a little firecracker against Diwali’s night sky. Rare on U.S. charts, Lyssa lets a girl stand out without shouting, proving that even a three-syllable whisper can dream big.
