Elis

Elis is a Scandinavian and Welsh short form of names derived from the Hebrew Elisheba, meaning my God is an oath or my God is abundance. In Scandinavian countries it developed as a masculine form, while in Wales it emerged as a Welsh adaptation of the Latin Elisaeus, itself from the Hebrew Elisha. The name has been used in Wales since the medieval period and appears in Welsh literary tradition. Related forms include Ellis, Elias, and Elisabet.
