Yulissa

Yulissa is a feminine given name that originated in Latin American Spanish-speaking communities, most likely as an elaborated or blended form of Yulia or Yuli, themselves Spanish and Slavic adaptations of the Latin name Julia, meaning belonging to the gens Julia or, more broadly, youthful. The -issa suffix is a common ornamental ending used in Latin American naming traditions to create melodic feminine forms. The name has no classical historical bearers but has gained steady popular use in countries such as Mexico, Honduras, and the Dominican Republic. Related forms include Julissa, Julia, and Yulia.
