Biography
Meaning & Symbolism
Derived directly from the Ancient Greek word θάλασσα (thálassa), meaning 'the sea.' In Greek mythology, Thalassa is the primordial goddess of the sea, the literal personification of the sea itself. As a protogenos (a first-born immortal), she predates the Olympians. The name symbolizes vastness, depth, mystery, raw power, and the life-giving, yet sometimes turbulent, nature of the ocean. It evokes a connection to the most ancient and elemental forces of nature.
