The story of Elisia
Elisa has been an Italian and Spanish short form of Elisabetta and Elisabet for centuries. Elysium is the Greek afterlife of the fortunate, mentioned in Homer and elaborated by later poets, and its adjective gave the Champs-Élysées their name. Elisia appears in American records from the nineteenth century and draws on both, without the record saying which a given family meant.
Meaningscholars disagree
my God is an oath, or of the blessed fields
Through Elisa the name reaches Elizabeth, from Hebrew Elisheva. Through Elysia it reaches the Greek Elysion, the fields of the blessed, whose own derivation is unknown and possibly pre-Greek. The spelling stands between them.

- counting every spelling
The SSA counts spellings, not names. Elisia went to 41 girls in 2025, but Elysia, Elicia and Elycia are the same name said out loud. Together the 4 spellings went to 226, which makes it the 736th most-given girls’ name of the year — 2,909 places above the chart.
About 1 girl in 7,112 born in 2025 was given one of these spellings — against 1 in 39,202 for Elisia itself.
Spellings are grouped by a fixed rule that folds interchangeable English spellings of one sound (ck/k, ph/f, x/ks, a non-initial y for i) and keeps vowels apart, so Sean and Shawn stay separate names. It errs towards splitting: a family here is never larger than the truth. SSA national data, 2025. Method
