Tahyssia

The name Tahyssia is quite rare and its exact etymological path is somewhat obscure. It appears to be a variant or elaboration of names like Taisia or Thais. Thais was a common name in ancient Greece, famously borne by an Athenian hetaera who accompanied Alexander the Great. Taisia is a Russian name derived from the Greek 'Thais', which itself is thought to be connected to the Egyptian goddess Isis, meaning 'she who belongs to Isis'. The addition of the '-sia' or '-ssya' suffix is a common way to create feminine names or diminutives in various languages, particularly Slavic ones, suggesting a possible influence from those linguistic traditions in its formation or adoption.
