What is the meaning of the name Elisse ?

The baby name Elisse is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced /əˈliːs/ (uh-LEES).

Elisse is Hebrew in Origin.

Elisse is a contemporary variant that bridges Elise and Elissa. Elise, the French diminutive of Elizabeth (from Hebrew Elisheva), conveys the meaning "my God is an oath" or "pledged to God." Elissa echoes the Greek rendering of the Phoenician name associated with Queen Dido of Carthage, adding a classical, mythic layer. Together, these strands give Elisse a mix of biblical depth and Mediterranean elegance, while keeping the crisp, modern sound many parents favor.

Usage is uncommon but recognizable across English- and French-speaking communities, appearing more often from the late 20th century as creative spellings proliferated and Elise remained stylish - helped by the cultural halo of Beethoven’s Für Elise. Related forms and variants include Elise, Élise, Elyse, Elisa, Eliza, Elissa, Elysse, Alise, and Ilise; nicknames range from Ellie and Elle to Lise, Liss, and Lissie.
