My gf and i are expecting a little girl at the end of September, and for some reason have fallen in love with the name Priseis. Does anyone have any idea of what it means?!

The girl's name Briseis \b-ri-seis\ is related to Brisa.
The baby name Briseis sounds like Persis, *Priseis* and Perssis. Other similar baby names are Brites and Briseida.
Briseis is a very rare female first name and a very rare surname (source: 1990 U.S. Census).

Additional Info: In Greek mythology, Briseis was a Trojan widow taken by Achilles as spoils of war. Her removal from his possession by Agamemnon led to his withdrawal from combat in the Trojan war.

Good luck with the baby, and Congrats! It's a pretty cool name in my opinion.

No but it is most unusual and hope she can learn to spell it? Sounds as though it comes from the Roman empire. Hope all goes well and your daughter is beautiful and healthy and happy with her chosen name.
