What is the meaning of the name Conchissa ?

Conchissa is Spanish in Origin.

Conchissa is a rare medieval feminine given name found in southern European records, especially Occitan and Italian, where scribes alternated spellings. It most plausibly reflects the Latin Concessa, from concedere “to grant,” yielding the meaning “granted, bestowed,” often understood as “granted by God.” The -issa ending matches medieval Latin and Romance feminine formations (compare abbatissa “abbess”), explaining the variant shape with -h- as an orthographic flourish.

Documentation shows sporadic use from the High Middle Ages, later eclipsed by the widespread Marian name complex centered on the Immaculate Conception. In Iberia this gave rise to Concepción with pet forms Concha and Conchita, which sometimes influenced the reading of Conchissa. Direct variants include Concessa, Concesa, Conchisa, and Conchessa; diminutives Chissa or Chissina occur locally. Related cognates are Spanish Concepción/Concha/Conchita, Portuguese Conceição, Italian Concezione, and Catalan Concepció/Conxa/Conxita.
