Elyce is in Origin.
Elyce is a modern English feminine name most often treated as a variant spelling of Elise/Elyse, which itself is a diminutive of Elisabeth. Through Hebrew Elisheva ('El' + 'sheva'), it carries the meaning “God is my oath” or “pledged to God.” The spelling is influenced by French Élise and the popularity of Elise in German- and French-speaking Europe; Beethoven’s “Für Elise” helped cement that form in the 19th century. Elyce emerged later as an Anglicized, stylistic respelling that gained modest use in the late 20th century in the US, UK, and Australia.
Variants and related forms include Elise, Elyse, Elize, Elisse, Ellice/Elice, Elisa, Eliza, and Lisette; diminutives such as Lise or Lissy occur. Some also link Elyce to Elysia/Elysium, giving a secondary association of “blissful,” though the Elisabeth line is primary. Usage remains rare but recognizable, offering a classic core with a contemporary twist.
