[Facts] Are you asking two questions?
I mean, are you asking how to pronounce her name as well as what it means? If so, Reissa is kinda pronounced "Lreh-ee-sah", the Lr combination meaning a "flattened" r, which I describe as somewhere between "l" and "r", and a "quickened" vowel sound (perhaps somewhere around the length of a transient thought, but that's just how I kinda time Japanese short vowels.)As for what it means, have you asked her to show you the kanji for her name? The kanji, along with the pronunciation, determines what a word (including a name) means.I hope I've helped you some. :)Phyllis (aka Sidhe Uaine or Gaia Euphoria)

Minor correction, oops. :blush:It's pronounced Lrehehsah (I forgot that the romanji spelling ei is just the "long" e, which is just a slightly longer "eh" sound. A word that is most familiar to Westerners with the "long" e is "sensei" or teacher.Phyllis (aka Sidhe Uaine or Gaia Euphoria)
