What is the meaning of the name Eliseo ?

The baby name Eliseo is a Male name , 4 syllables long and is pronounced {'English': '/ˌɛlɪˈseɪ.oʊ/', 'Spanish': '/e.liˈse.o/', 'Italian': '/e.liˈze.o/'}.

Eliseo is Hebrew in Origin.

Eliseo is the Spanish and Italian form of the Hebrew name Elisha (אֱלִישָׁע), from ’El “God” + yasha‘ “to save,” meaning “God is salvation” or “my God saves.” In the Vulgate it appears as Eliseus, which shaped the Romance spellings. Variants include Portuguese/Catalan Eliseu, French Élisée, and English Elisha; Eli is a common nickname.

The name entered European use through reverence for the prophet Elisha, successor to Elijah in 2 Kings, and persisted in baptismal records across medieval Iberia and Italy. Today Eliseo remains familiar in Spain, southern Italy, and much of Latin America, and has modest usage in the United States through Hispanic communities. Though close in sound to Elise or Elisa, Eliseo is etymologically distinct from the Elizabeth family.
