Elselijn

Created by blending Else with the Dutch suffix -lijn, Elselijn is a pretty elaboration of the Elizabeth diminutive. Pronounced with a strong LINE sound, Elselijn is an appealing mix of daintiness and strength, with Elselien and Elseline being alternative spellings. A notable bearer is Dutch philosopher, Elselijn Kingma, born Elisabeth Marjolijn, making Elselijn a compound name too.

Pronounced EL-suh-line.
