Elza

Elza is a feminine name used in Portuguese, Latvian, Hungarian, and Georgian traditions, functioning primarily as a short form or vernacular variant of Elsa, which itself derives from the Hebrew name Elisheba, meaning my God is an oath or my God is abundance. The name gained wider European currency in part through the popularity of the Elsa form, spread by Germanic and Scandinavian usage. Elza appears across notably different linguistic and cultural contexts while maintaining close phonetic ties to its source. Related forms include Elsa, Elise, and Elizabeth.
