Eliss is in Origin.

Eliss is a contemporary, largely English-language given name, typically pronounced eh-LISS, that functions as a tailored variant of two older forms. From Ellis (Welsh/English), it ultimately traces to the Greek Elias and Hebrew Eliyahu, meaning “Yahweh is my God.” As a stylistic echo of Elise, the French short form of Elizabeth, it can also share the meaning “my God is an oath” or “pledged to God.” The double‑s ending imparts a sleek, gender-neutral profile.

While Ellis and Elise are well attested from medieval records onward, Eliss appears in late twentieth- and early twenty-first-century usage, favored by parents seeking a fresh spelling with familiar roots. Related forms and variants include Ellis, Elis, Elís (Icelandic), Elise, Élise, Elyse, Elisse, Elys, and Ellice; diminutives or nicknames include Eli, Lis, and Lissie. The name’s dual heritage supports both masculine and feminine use.
