What Does Melissa Mean?

Melissa is a girl's name. Melissa is of Greek origin, pronounced as ma-liss-ah it means "bee or honey bee". In Greek mythology it was the name of a princess from Crete who was transformed into a bee after she managed to learn the method of collecting honey. There are like most Greek myths alternate versions available as well. In another version it was the name of a nymph from the mountains who rescued Zeus from Cronus, his father. His father was at that time trying to devour Zeus. She took Zeus into the hills, hid him there and fed him honey and the goat Amalthea's milk. This maddened Cronus who transformed her into a worm. Zeus now was in her debt and changed her to a bee instead so that she could always be associated with honey.

Something dumb like bees and is very common like VERY common, its all facts believe me I study this stuff.
