God has heard
A name of Hebrew origin, it is a variant of Elishama, meaning 'God has heard' or 'my God has heard.' In the Old Testament, this name was primarily used for male figures, but it has transitioned into a rare feminine choice in modern times, particularly in Spanish-speaking and Portuguese-speaking communities.
