Elisa

Elisa is a short form of Elisabetta, Isabel, or their equivalents across several European languages, all ultimately tracing back to the Hebrew name Elisheba, meaning something like my God is an oath or my God is abundance. The name gained wide circulation through the biblical figure of Elisheba, wife of Aaron, and later through Saint Elizabeth of Hungary, whose veneration spread the name throughout medieval Europe. Elisa has been independently popular in Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, German, and Finnish traditions, and appears in Icelandic as Elísa. Related forms include Elise, Elisa's close French counterpart, as well as Elisabeth, Elizabeth, Isabel, and Lisa.
