What is the meaning of the name Iridissa ?

Iridissa is in Origin.

Iridissa is a modern, lyrical name derived from the Greek root iris, meaning “rainbow,” also the name of the goddess and the colorful iris of the eye. Its second element resembles the Latinate feminine suffix -issa (as in Clarissa), yielding a sense of “rainbow-like” or “iridescent,” akin to the English word iridescence, itself from the same root. The imagery suggests luminosity, color, and changeability, as with the iris flower and shifting hues of light.

Documented use is recent and rare, chiefly in English-speaking countries, where it fits with elaborate, vowel-rich names. Pop culture has familiarized a close variant, Iridessa, through the Disney Fairies franchise, and that spelling is often treated as a sister form. Other variants include Iridesa and Iridisa; diminutives such as Iri, Risa, Dessa, and Issa are intuitive. Overall, Iridissa offers a distinctive, contemporary twist on classic Iris.
