Eliso

Eliso is a Georgian feminine given name derived from the Hebrew Elisheba, meaning something along the lines of my God is an oath or my God is abundance, making it a regional form of the widespread biblical name Elizabeth. It gained particular cultural resonance in Georgia through the 1882 short story Eliso by the Georgian writer Aleksandre Qazbegi, in which the name belongs to a tragic Chechen heroine, cementing its romantic and literary associations in the South Caucasus. Related forms include Elisa, Eliza, Elisabetta, and Isabel, all ultimately tracing back to the same Hebrew source.
