BissellThe name Bissell sounds like a variant of the Greek Basilus, meaning "Princely" or "Crowned". From this word came the English name Basil.A NOTE TO THE SUPERSTICIOUS: It should be noted that names of the root Basilus are connected with the "Great Crowned Serpent", or "King of Serpents": The Basilisk (which was named because the males apparently had gold crest-scales on their heads that made them look like they were wearing crowns).
