Melissza

Melissza is a Hungarian form of Melissa, ultimately derived from the ancient Greek word melissa, meaning bee, itself related to meli, meaning honey. The Greek name was borne in mythology by a nymph who discovered and taught the use of honey, and it gained broad popularity across Europe during the twentieth century. Melissa spread widely through Western naming traditions before giving rise to adapted forms in various languages, including this rare Hungarian spelling variant. Related forms include Melissa, Mélissa, and Melitta.
