Lyssa First Name Meaning

Lyssa is a female name of American origin meaning "Honey Bee." In Greek mythology, Lyssa was a minor goddess associated with rage, fury, and rabies in animals. She was closely related to madness and insanity, and her Roman equivalent was Ira, Furor, or Rabies. Lyssa was considered the spirit of mad rage and frenzy, as well as rabies in animals. In myth, she features in stories where she drives people insane to their doom. The viral genus Lyssavirus, which includes the causative agent of rabies, was named after this goddess. The name Alyssa also has an etymological connection to Lyssa, as the flower alyssum was named after the disease rabies with the prefix "α-" meaning without. In Greek mythology, Lyssa is identified as the daughter of the night-goddess Nyx or in some sources as the daughter of Terra (Gaia) and Aether.
