Korissa is a unique take on the Greek Korinna or Kore. A variant of the Greek Korína, which comes from the Ancient Greek Korínna (Κορίννα,) Korissa ultimately derives from kórē ‎(κόρη,) meaning "maiden" or "young woman." In Greek mythology, Kore, also known as Persephone, is the queen of the underworld after marrying Hades and the daughter of Zeus and Demeter. While there's no need to worry about your little Korissa venturing beyond Earth's frontiers, we're certain they'll still charm the socks off everyone they meet.
