Melissa is a Baby Girl Name

Find out the meaning behind the name Melissa.

There’s a great story with this name: the word Melissa originates from a mythological Greek nymph who fed honey to the infant god Zeus and was later transformed into a bee (cool, right?). While Melissa was very popular from 1960-1980, it has been slowly, but surely slipping out of vogue in more recent years.
