I believe it means Honeybee.
What are your thoughts about Melissa..?

I think Melissa is beautiful and due a comeback! And Lissa is a lovely nickname

I hate Melanie - it sounds like melancholy to me so has that vibe.

I love it, Melissa or Lissa, but I hate Mel. With our two boys we made sure we liked every obvious abbreviation.

I'm not keen. Find it very 80s, along with Melanie.

Not names I think will come back any time soon.

Now I've said that, of course they will skyrocket 😂

I like it but can you live with the inevitable Mel as a nn?

It's a lovely underused name and I like the meaning too.
