Nericcia
n(e)-ric-cia,
ner(i)-ccia
Origin:Greek
Meaning:Sea nymph, sea sprite
If your love for baby is as deep and vast as the ocean, the feminine name Nericcia could be a fitting choice. Diving into this moniker’s roots reveals Nerissa, the Greek title that seems to have inspired it! While Nerissa first appeared in William Shakespeare’s play The Merchant of Venice, it finds its roots in Greek mythology. Both Nericcia and Nerissa derive from the Greek name Nērēḯs, which once described the Nereids, the daughters of the sea god Nereus. These “sea nymphs” or “sea sprites” were often depicted as young girls who dwelled in the sea and other bodies of water. Perhaps swimming, splashing, and sandcastle building will become your sweet Nericcia’s favorite activities.
