About Ellisa
Ellisa is a feminine given name that appears to be a variation of Elisa, which itself is a short form of Elisabeth or Elizabeth. The name has Hebrew origins, deriving from 'Elisheva,' meaning 'God is my oath' or 'God is satisfaction.' The doubled 'l' in Ellisa creates a distinctive spelling while maintaining the same melodic pronunciation as Elisa. This name carries the dignified legacy of the Elizabeth name family while offering a somewhat more uncommon alternative. Ellisa has a gentle, flowing quality that feels both classic and contemporary. While not as widely used as Elisa, Elisabeth, or Elizabeth, Ellisa provides a balance between familiarity and uniqueness. The name has remained consistently used but uncommon in English-speaking countries, appealing to parents who want a recognizable yet distinctive name with biblical connections.
Pronounced uh-LEE-suh.
As of October 2026, Ellisa ranked #9230 in US births in 2022 SSA, peaked at #2444 in 1963.
