Thalassa
About Thalassa
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.
Pronounced thuh-LAH-suh.
As of October 2026, Thalassa ranked #9546 in US births in 1977 SSA.
