Iisa

Iisa is a Finnish feminine name functioning as the local form of Elisabeth, which traces back through Latin and Greek to the Hebrew name Elisheba, composed of the elements meaning God and oath or God is my oath. The name became widespread across Europe through the veneration of the biblical Elizabeth, mother of John the Baptist, as well as the later Saint Elizabeth of Hungary. Iisa shares its heritage with numerous cognates across languages, including Elisa, Lisa, Ilse, and Elise.
