Well, my first impression is that it may be somewhat similar in sound to Melisende, with the "el" sound removed and "ei" added on, which I initially pronounced as a long "i" sound, as in Lorelei. So, my interpretation came out more like "mi-SAWN-die".

I'm guessing the author must not have included a pronunciation key. That always peeves me, when authors use names readers are not likely familiar with, or created names with ambiguous spellings, and don't provide the pronunciation.
