      Meaning

      God is My Salvation

      Variations

      Elisae, Eliseo, Eliese
      The name Elisee, of French origin, is derived from the Hebrew name Elisha, meaning God is my salvation. This name embodies a profound significance, reflecting themes of divine protection and spiritual resilience. It is a feminine variant that carries with it connotations of faithfulness and hope.

      Historically, variations of the name Elisee can be traced back to biblical contexts, particularly in the story of Elisha, the prophet and successor to Elijah in the Old Testament. Over centuries, the name has been adopted across various cultures, often retaining its religious implications. In France, Elisee has been used since at least the medieval period, becoming associated with saints and revered figures in Christian tradition, thereby enhancing its popularity among devout communities.

      In contemporary settings, Elisee remains a less common yet distinctly elegant name.
