Melisa Origin and Meaning
Melisa is a feminine name with roots in Greek mythology, derived from 'melissa' meaning 'honey bee' or 'honeysuckle.' This sweet and melodious name carries connotations of industriousness, community, and sweetness, qualities associated with bees. Melisa serves as a variant spelling of the more common Melissa, offering a slightly different look while maintaining the same pronunciation in most language contexts. Popular throughout Spanish-speaking countries, Eastern Europe, and Turkey, this spelling variation has its own cultural presence. The name experienced peak popularity in the late 20th century but maintains steady usage worldwide. Melisa's cross-cultural appeal and natural connections make it both accessible and meaningful as a name choice.
