Illisa Origin and Meaning

The name Illisa is a girl's name.

Illisa is a rare feminine name with uncertain origins, possibly representing a variant of Elisa (a short form of Elizabeth meaning 'God is my oath') or potentially drawing from the Greek 'Ilissa,' a reference to an ancient river. The double 'l' creates a distinctive look and flowing pronunciation. Illisa has never reached significant popularity in English-speaking countries, remaining an uncommon choice that carries a somewhat exotic quality. The name has a melodious sound with its soft vowels and gentle consonants, giving it an elegant, almost ethereal quality. For parents seeking something uncommon yet intuitive to pronounce, Illisa offers a blend of familiarity and uniqueness.
