Élise is a French given name derived from the Hebrew Elisheba, meaning God is my oath or God is abundance, through the Greek Elisavet and Latin Elisabetha. It developed as a shortened form of Élisabeth in French-speaking regions and has been popular across Europe since the medieval period. The name is closely associated with Beethoven's piano piece Für Elise, which helped spread its appeal internationally. Related forms include Elise, Elisa, Lisa, and Elisabeth.
