Eliisa is a Finnish and Estonian form of Elizabeth, ultimately derived from the Hebrew name Elisheba, composed of the elements el, meaning God, and sheva, meaning oath or abundance, giving the overall sense of my God is an oath or my God is abundance. The name entered Finnish and Estonian usage as an adaptation of the broader European Elizabeth tradition, which spread widely through the influence of Saint Elizabeth of Hungary and various royal bearers across medieval Europe. Related forms include Elisa, Liisa, and Lisa.
