%c3%a9lise

Élise is a French form of Elizabeth, ultimately derived from the Hebrew name Elisheba, composed of the elements el, meaning God, and shava, meaning oath or abundance, giving the overall sense of my God is an oath or my God is abundance. The name gained widespread use in France and other French-speaking regions and was borne by various European noblewomen and saints across the centuries. It is closely related to Élisa, Élisabeth, and the English forms Elise and Elizabeth, as well as the Spanish Isabel and the Italian Elisa and Elisabetta.
