Phyllisha

US Popularity Rank: 11957

Origin: Latin

Meaning: Lucky; Happy; Foliage, leaf

Phyllisha is a feminine name of Latin and Greek origin, acting as a harmonious blend of the Latin Felicia and Greek Phyllis. Felicia, coming from Felix, translates to “happy” or “lucky,” and can always remind baby that they deserve all the joy and fortune in the world. Phyllis, on the other hand, translates to “foliage,” and also has connections to a minor figure in Greek mythology. The way her story goes, she falls in love with Demophon, has a tragic end, and is transformed into an almond tree. If you want to help baby appreciate the macabre of ancient stories or remind them that luck is on their side, Phyllisha can help them flourish.
