Meaning & History

Meaning unknown. One source theorizes that the name might possibly be derived from Old English cisse meaning "gravelly place" or from Old English cís meaning "fastidious". Even Old Norse kyssa meaning "to kiss" was suggested by this source, but this seems unlikely, given that this name is Anglo-Saxon in origin.

Known bearers of this name include Cissa of Sussex (son of the 5th-century South Saxon king Ælle of Sussex) and the 8th-century saint Cissa of Crowland.
