%c3%a9lise

The name %c3%a9lise is not a real given name — it is a URL-encoded string representing the French name Élise. Treating the literal input as a name yields NAME_NOT_FOUND, but since the intended name is clearly Élise, here is the etymology for that name: Élise is a French short form of Élisabeth, itself derived from the Hebrew name Elisheba, meaning my God is an oath or my God is abundance. The name gained widespread use in Christian Europe through the biblical figure Elisabeth, mother of John the Baptist, and later through royal and religious bearers across France and other French-speaking regions. It remains a popular given name in France and French-speaking Canada today. Related forms include Elisa, Elise, Lisa, and Elisabeth.
