Alyssa
Alyssa is a feminine given name with multiple origins. Alysa is an alternative spelling. As used in Western countries, the name is usually derived from the name of the flower alyssum. The name of the flower derives from the Greek ἀ- ''a-'' ("not") and λύσσα ''lyssa'' ("mania, rabies"); the flower was formerly thought to cure skin diseases. It shares many variants in common with the name Alice and is occasionally considered a form of that name as well. Other equivalents of Alice include Alisa and Alissa. Elissa (Arabic: اليسار / ALA-LC: ''Alīssār''; اليسا / ''Alīssā''; عليسا ''‘Alīssā''; عليسة / ''‘Alīssah'') are variations of the name of Queen Elissa, the founder of Carthage, used in Middle Eastern countries. The name has been popular in the United States, where it ranked among the top 20 names between 2000 and 2009. The name's popularity declined steadily throughout the next decade, and by 2020 its rank had fallen to 199. Notables wi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Dido
Dido ( ; , ), also known as Elissa ( , ), was the legendary founder and first queen of the Phoenician city-state of Carthage (located in Tunisia), in 814 BC. In most accounts, she was the queen of the Phoenician city-state of Tyre (located in Lebanon) who fled tyranny to found her own city in northwest Africa. Known only through ancient Greek and Roman sources, all of which were written well after Carthage's founding, her historicity remains uncertain. The oldest references to Dido are attributed to Timaeus, who lived in Taormina in Sicily, and died around 260 BC, which is about five centuries after the date given for the foundation of Carthage. Timaeus told the legends surrounding the founding of Carthage by Dido in his Sicilian ''History''. By his account, Dido founded Carthage in 814 BC, around the same time as the foundation of Rome, and he alluded to the growing conflict between the two cities in his own day. Details about Dido's character, life, and role in the fo ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
