With petals of many colors and definitions of many beginnings, the feminine name Malisa is a unique tapestry. Perhaps it's simply an English variant of Melissa, a Greek title that means "bee." Ideal for a little one who enriches the world with every smile and giggle, Malisa could remind your child that small actions can make a big impact. This moniker could also take inspiration from maa-lii, the Thai word for "flower," so get ready to watch precious Malisa blossom. As a possible combination of Mary and Lisa, Malisa gains several Hebrew translations, from "sea of bitterness" and "rebelliousness" to "wished for a child," "beloved," and "my God is an oath." Just as their name can be interpreted in many different ways, your Malisa will have an abundance of people to meet and opportunities to pursue throughout their journey.
