My God is abundance or pledged to God
Ellsie is a modern spelling variant of Elsie, which originated as a Scottish diminutive of Elizabeth. It carries the same etymological roots as the Hebrew name Elisheba, meaning 'God is my oath' or 'God is abundance'. While the 'Elsie' spelling was a top 10 name in the late 19th century, this double-L spelling offers a contemporary twist.
