Thalyssa is in Origin.

Thalyssa is a modern feminine given name, likely a creative blend or respelling drawing on Greek elements: Thalassa “sea” and Thalia “blooming, flourishing,” combined with Alyssa (either from the alyssum flower or a modern form of Alice “noble”). This yields evocative readings such as “sea-bloom” or “flourishing by the sea,” while retaining contemporary softness through the -lyssa ending.

The name appears in records from the late 20th century, with usage in the United States and especially in Portuguese-speaking countries such as Brazil, where embellished spellings with Th- and -y- are fashionable. It remains rare and largely contemporary rather than traditional. Variants and related forms include Talyssa, Talissa, and Thalissa; see also Thalia, Alyssa, and Thalassa as sources of inspiration and etymological overlap.
