Stella Maris ("star of the sea") is an historic title for the Virgin Mary, in use since at least the early medieval period. Although it actually arose from a scribal error in the etymology of the name Mary, it came to be seen as symbolic of Mary's role as "guiding star" on the way to Christ. Under this name, the Virgin Mary is believed to intercede as a guide and protector of seafarers in particular, and many coastal churches are named Stella Maris or Star of the Sea.

Alyss is a feminine name that serves as a stylistic variant of Alice, which derives from the Germanic name Adalheidis, meaning 'noble type' or 'of noble kind.' This particular spelling gives the classic name a more modern, distinctive edge while maintaining its elegant sound. The variation gained some attention following the publication of fantasy novels featuring characters with this spelling. Historically, Alice has been popular across many English-speaking countries, with this alternative spelling adding a unique touch. The name has literary associations with Lewis Carroll's 'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland,' evoking images of curiosity and adventure. Alyss offers parents a way to honor tradition while adding a contemporary twist to a timeless name.
