Thaissa

Ultimately from the Greek Thaïs and possibly inspired by the Shakespearean form Thaisa, this variation of the name is familiar in Brazil where it ranked just outside the Top 500 in the most recent data. While the classic Thaïs is associated with a 4th century saint and the mistress of Alexander the Great, Thaissa is borne by fitness and lifestyle influencer, Thaissa Marvila, fashion blogger and influencer Thaissa Calvalcante, and Olympic runner, Thaissa Presti.

The meaning of the name is debated but "bandage", "beloved", and "divine" are possibilities.

Pronounced thay-EE-suh.

As of October 2026, Thaissa ranked #19292 for girls in US births in 2012 SSA.
