feminine · Swedish origin
Elsy is a Scandinavian and Latin American Spanish feminine name that arose as a short form or vernacular variant 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 developed independently in Swedish-speaking regions and in parts of Latin America as a familiar, standalone given name rather than merely a nickname. Related forms include Elsa, Else, and Elsie, all of which share the same Hebrew root through Elisabeth.
