MEANING & HISTORY
What does Alyssia mean?
Alyssia is explicitly identified as a variant of Alicia, not automatically as the alyssum flower word. Alicia is a Latinized Alice form; the older Alice family is associated with Germanic nobility.
The exact researched variant relationship explains the name more securely than deriving it from a similar modern botanical spelling.
