Criseida

A variation of Chryseis, this form was created by the 14th-century Italian poet Giovanni Boccaccio in work Il Filostrato, in which she is the faithless lover of the Trojan Troilus. While some sources suggest the name emerged thanks to Boccaccio confusing Chryseis and Briseida (Briseis),it is likely that both Chaucer and Shakespeare were inspired by this form, when they wrote of Criseyde and Cressida respectively.

The name has seen some real-world usage among Spanish and Portuguese speaking communities, notably in Venezuela, Mexico, Brazil, and the Dominican Republic. Meaning "gold", Criseida could even have the nicknames Crissie, Zadie, and Sadie.

Pronounced kri-SAY-duh.
