Thalassa Origin and Meaning

The name Thalassa is a girl's name of Greek origin meaning "the sea".

A pretty, rarely used Greek name, Thalassa is the ancient personification of the sea, particularly the Mediterranean, who is sometimes considered the mother of Aphrodite. In 1991, a newly discovered moon of Neptune was dubbed Thalassa.

This name would make a highly original, yet accessible and delicate choice.
