Eliina

Eliina is a Finnish feminine name derived from the Hebrew Elisheba, meaning sworn to God or my God is abundance, reaching Scandinavia through the Latin Helisaeva and later the Greek Helisabet. It developed as a regional Finnish and Estonian variant of the widely attested name that appears across European traditions in such forms as Eliisa, Elina, Elisa, and Elisabeth. The name has been in steady use in Finland for centuries, carried by both common women and figures in Nordic literary and folk culture.
