[Opinions] Sounds like...
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.
Edited for spelling.
