Eliisa is a Finnish and Estonian form of Elisabeth, which derives 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 wide use across Europe through the biblical figure of Elisheba, wife of Aaron, and was later popularized by Saint Elizabeth of Hungary and various European queens. Eliisa represents the northern European adaptation of the longer form, sitting alongside related variants such as Elisa, Elise, Liisa, and Lisa.
