[Facts] Re: Are you thinking of any names in particular?
in reply to a message by MJ
I checked 7 names ending with -ISSA, and there seems to be no system behind it. With MELISSA and LARISSA the -SA belongs to the name itself. In the case of NARCISSA, the A is added. The only hint I found was, that CLARISSA was a "medevial derivation" of CLARA - whatever this means.
There are many more names with just -SA at the end - for various reasons.
I don't believe there is an ending -SA that really means anything.Andy ;—)
