Pledged to God
Elyza is a modern phonetic spelling of Eliza, which originated as a diminutive of Elizabeth. It ultimately derives from the Hebrew name Elisheba, meaning 'my God is an oath' or 'pledged to God'. While the 'z' spelling is traditional, the 'y' replacement offers a contemporary twist on a classic Victorian favorite.
