Comments :

I have always received compliments about my name. My grandmother named me. I read all you had regarding my name, and it actually describes me quite perfectly. I am extremely forgiving, empathic, full of love and life for everyone, look for the good in any situation, try and teach patience, love and spirituality. I care for every soul and believe I have a purpose on this earth to try and bring light to those who are lost. I have given of myself; to the point of actually having nothing left and still believe I am here to help others. Great job describing my name. Only addition - I was always told by my lebanese relatives - my name meant temple/love/Godly. However, reading the totality of the description; seems all those traits are listed. My name is pronounced ah-ness-ah; growing up, there was never anyone with my name. Only in the past 15 years have I seen or heard of others called Anissa (but they pronounce it ah-niss-ah). I still have originality!! - Anissa Makris
