Elease

Elease is a feminine name of uncertain origin, possibly a variant spelling of Elise or a modification of the name Elyse. Both of these names derive from the Hebrew name Elizabeth, meaning 'God is my oath' or 'God is abundance.' Another possibility is that it developed as a variation of the name Alice, which comes from the Germanic name Adalheidis, meaning 'noble natured.' Elease has a graceful, flowing quality when pronounced, combining traditional elements with a distinctive spelling. Though never reaching widespread popularity, the name saw modest usage in the United States during the early to mid-20th century. Elease offers a unique alternative to more common names with similar sounds, giving it a subtle distinctiveness while remaining relatively easy to pronounce.

Pronounced eh-LEES.
