Re: Name Origin? ? ?

Briseis is certainly unexpected in English! But isn't that because, in literature, Chaucer used Criseyde and Shakespeare used Cressida? And they were the versions that caught on ... I wouldn't be surprised to meet an English Cressida, though it would be even less surprising to see Cressida as a type of car; perhaps a Toyota, I'm vague about cars.
