feminine · Swedish origin
Elsy is a Scandinavian and Latin American feminine name that arose as a diminutive or short form of Elisabeth, itself derived from the Hebrew Elisheba, meaning something along the lines of my God is an oath or my God is abundance. It gained independent use particularly in Sweden and in Spanish-speaking regions of Latin America, where diminutive pet forms of longer names frequently became established given names in their own right. Related forms include Else, Elsa, Elsi, and Elsie.
