Update 09/2008: I’m now an artist and inventor. I’ve been selling my paintings and sculptures. I haven’t sold any inventions yet, but they may be too cutting edge/odd/dangerous/useless (like my coffee-maker-hot-tub…). I currently work for myself and am enjoying my increased artistic productivity.
Previously 09/2006: I’m an artist. My goal is to transition into working/selling artist by October 2007. Over the next year I’m going to learn how to paint more productively, how to apply for “Call for Entries”, and how to sell art at “Arts and Craft” shows.
I currently work as a paper-pusher for a bureaucratic institution and where I dream of escaping to pursue my artistic passions.

Hi Nyssa,
I typed my name into a google search engine and besides the character from doctor who, which i was named after, your web site was the only one of intrest.

Hi my daughter’s name is Nyssa (after the Dr. Who character), however I have since learned that it means “woman”.
For all that have ever posted on this site, Nyssa is an amazing name to belong to. To me, it is not a name that I was born with, but it is a name, that along my life path, that I chose. Nyssa has alot of meaning, and anyone granted with this gracious, beautiful name should see it as a blessing.
Nyssa in greek mythology was one of the water nymphs that nursed the greek god Dionysis back to health.
Nyssa is also a butterfly.
Nyssa is also a water loving tree.
If research this name hard enough you will find that there is alot of meaning behind it.
Anyone blessed with this name is a unique soul.
Nyssa also means ‘New Beginning’
Nyssa also means ‘Sister’

Hello all you folks named Nyssa! My relative live and farm in Nyssa Oregon. Nyssa Oregon was formed in about 1903 and named by the Greeks after St Gregory of Nyssa. Nyssa is a place, oddly near Egypt. Near the ancient city of Cappadocia. St Gregory was the Christian Bishop of Nyssa. This was at a time when there wasn’t any denominations nor was there a Roman Catholic Church. It was before the Pope of Rome split from the other 4 Christian Leaders or Archbishops Originally 5 Christian Archbishops called Patriarchs led (not ruled over) Christians.
I grew up on a farm near ….Cairo Junction also named by the Greeks. The Greeks who settled in the area were very fond of the Christrian bishops who led Christians in Alexandria Egypt. Hence all these Egypt oriented names in the area.
Oh one final note. I am not Greek. I am Japanese-American.
My daughter is just 3 weeks old and I have decided to name her Nyssa. Love to read all comments from all of you ppl around the world.
