Anfissa
This name derives from the Ancient Greek “Ámphissa (Ἄμφισσᾰ),” from “amphiénnūmi (ἀμφιέννυμι),” composed of two elements: “amphí (ἀμφί)” (about, concerning, by, near, around, with) plus “hénnūmi (ἕννῡμῐ)” (to put clothes on, wear, dress). In turn, the name means “dress someone, wear.” In Greek mythology, Amphissa was the daughter of Macareus, a lover of Apollo and the eponym of the city Amphissa in Ozolian Locris. Amfissa is a town in Phocis, Greece, part of Delphi’s municipality, of which it is the seat and a municipal unit.
