Meaning & History
The first element of this name is derived from either the Greek noun πεῖσα (peisa) meaning "obedience" or the Greek noun πεῖσις (peisis) meaning "persuasion". Both words are ultimately derived from the Greek verb πείθω (peitho) meaning "to persuade, to convince" as well as "to obey, to yield to" and "to believe, to trust (in)". The second element of this name is derived from the Greek noun νόος (noos) meaning "mind".In Greek mythology, this is the name of a siren, who is also known as Peisithoe.
