Malissie

Malissie Origin and Meaning

The name Malissie is a girl's name.

Malissie is a feminine name that appears to be a variation of Melissa or possibly Malissa. It carries the sweetness of its root name Melissa, which derives from Greek meaning 'honeybee.' The added '-ie' ending gives it a diminutive, affectionate quality common in Southern American naming traditions. Malissie was occasionally found in the United States in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, particularly in rural communities, but remains quite rare in contemporary usage. The name conveys warmth and folksy charm with its melodic three-syllable rhythm. Parents drawn to vintage names with a touch of Southern sweetness might appreciate Malissie as an alternative to more common names like Melissa or Mallory.
