Idelisa is Spanish in Origin.
Idelisa is a Spanish-language given name most common in the Caribbean, often analyzed as a blended form of Ida and Elisa, or as a regional variant of Adelisa/Edelisa. Its elements reach back to Germanic and Hebrew roots: Ida (from id, meaning work, industrious), Elisa (a short form of Elizabeth, Hebrew Elisheva, "my God is an oath"), and Adel-/Edel- (from adal, "noble"). Taken together, the name is read as "industrious and devoted," or "noble and consecrated" when linked to Adelisa.
Usage rose in the 20th century in the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, and Cuba; public awareness was aided by Dominican marine biologist Idelisa Bonnelly (1925–2022). Rare in Spain and the United States, it remains distinctive within Caribbean and diaspora communities. Variants and related forms include Ydelisa, Edelisa, Adelisa/Adeliza, Idalisa/Idaliza, and the cores Elisa, Eliza, and Ida. Nicknames: Ide, Isa, Lisi, Liza.
Idelisa is rarely chosen. In all, it turns up just 38 times, across 9 countries.
