A derivative of Thessalonica which is the Latinate form of the Greek Thessalonike. Thessalonike was a Macedonian princess and the half-sister of Alexander the Great. Thessaloniki was named after her. Thessalonike means victory in Thessaly. It could also just be an elaborated form of Thessaly. I really like it, but I do prefer Thessalonike.

I didn't know that.
That's an awesome ending to the story. I love mermaids and sirens.
