Meaning: a geographical area of Greece.
I was in the mood for a more unusual name today. This is a place name, which has had only very occasional use as a baby name so far. As a place name it fits in with the trend for names such as: India, Aspen, Caspian, Paris, Siena, Roma, Adelaide etc! If you like Greek mythology, you might be interested by Ancient Greek stories including Thessaly, such as the battle between the gods and Titans which is supposed to have taken place on the Plain of Thessaly.
I think Thessaly has a really attractive sound; I love saying this name. It sounds soft with the Th- start and playful with the -lee sound at the end. I really like that it is highly unlikely that anyone else you know would have this name and that your child would be unique in their class. You'd have to deal with spelling the name out all of the time but I think the pronunciation is straightforward enough.
Let's start a new naming trend with Thessaly!
