Combination names seem to be increasingly common and the same phenomenon holds true for girl names. For instance, the name Laurissa is a product of two names blended perfectly together, specifically the name Laura, which means laurel in
Old English, and Melissa, which stands for
honey bee in Greek.
Laurissa, the "laurel of honey" is quite unique because it was only given to not more than a hundred and fifty girls in the
United States alone. This happened in two consecutive years, 2003 until 2004. Now, isn't that a good option for a name?
