What is the meaning of the name Eliso ?

Eliso is Georgian in Origin.

Eliso (Georgian: ელისო) is a Georgian feminine given name, most commonly used as an independent form of a traditional pet name for Elisabed, the Georgian form of Elizabeth. It ultimately traces to the Hebrew Elisheva, interpreted as “my God is an oath” or “God’s promise.” Its mellifluous -o ending aligns with a common pattern in Georgian women’s names.

Documented in Georgia since at least the nineteenth century, the name gained cultural visibility through folklore and, notably, the acclaimed 1928 silent film Eliso by Nikoloz Shengelaia. Today it remains familiar in Georgia and the Georgian diaspora but is rare elsewhere. Variants and cognates include Elisabed (formal Georgian), Liza, Lizi, Eliza, Elisa, Elise, Lisbeth, Elisabeth/Elizabeth, Elisabet, Elisabetta, and Elsbeth. The core meaning across these forms preserves the Hebrew sense of a divine oath or promise.
