Elise

Elise is a French and Germanic short form of Elizabeth, which derives from the Hebrew name Elisheba, meaning my God is an oath or my God is abundance. The name spread widely across Europe through the veneration of Saint Elizabeth of Hungary and the enduring popularity of the biblical name. It is closely associated with Ludwig van Beethoven's piano piece Für Elise, which helped cement the name's romantic appeal in the modern era. Related forms include Elisa, Élise, Eliza, Lisa, and Elisabeth.
