My God is an oath
Elisea is a feminine variation of Elisha or Eliseo, ultimately derived from the Hebrew name Elisheba. It shares the same etymological roots as Elizabeth, signifying a promise or oath made to God. While rare in the United States, it carries a melodic, multi-syllabic elegance common in Romance languages.
