Missie

Missie is a girl’s name of Greek origin. As the diminutive of Melissa, it takes on the meaning of “bee” and “honey” for itself. Behind this association is the mythical story of a nymph by the name of Melissa, who is supposed to have nursed baby Zeus. Having discovered the use of honey, she chooses to feed the baby honey rather than milk. Consequently, not only did everyone who cared for the patriarch god get the name Melissa but the moniker also doubles as the Greek word for bees. Whether or not you’re a fan of these winged creatures, Missie makes for a sweet and honeyed choice, especially if you’d like your little one to be the embodiment of love, generosity, and compassion.
