Addessi is thought to be derived from the Greek word "adysses," which means "abyss" or "deep." This suggests that the name may have originally referred to someone who lived near a deep valley, gorge, or ravine. Alternatively, it could have been a nickname or descriptive name given to someone who possessed a particularly deep voice or intense personality.

In some historical records, the name appears with slightly different spellings, such as Addesi or Addesi. These variations were common during the Middle Ages due to the lack of standardized spelling conventions.

Another notable individual with this surname was Giovanni Battista Addessi, a prominent painter from the 16th century who was active in Naples and other parts of southern Italy. His works can still be found in several churches and museums in the region.

In the 19th century, a renowned poet and playwright named Antonio Addessi emerged from the town of Catanzaro in Calabria. He was born in 1825 and gained recognition for his contributions to the literary scene of the time.
