Elisya Origin and Meaning

The name Elisya is a girl's name.

Elisya is a modern variant of the classic name Elisa, which itself derives from the Hebrew name Elizabeth meaning "God is my oath" or "God is abundance." This unique spelling incorporates the trendy 'y' substitution that became popular in the late 20th century. Elisya has a melodic, flowing quality with its soft consonants and vowel endings. While not historically common, the name began appearing more frequently in recent decades as parents sought distinctive versions of traditional names. The name carries the same rich biblical heritage of its root form while offering a contemporary twist. Though relatively uncommon in official records, Elisya appeals to parents seeking a name that sounds familiar yet stands out visually.
