The Biss surname in historical dictionaries
Patronymica Britannica (1860)
BISS. Perhaps Bisli, formerly written Bysse. Ferguson, however, says that Bis is an old Teutonic personal name, and thinlvS Bissell and Bissett may be its diminutives ; but Bissell is found prefixed by De, showing its local origin, and Bisset is said by Camden to mean a dove.
