Elysha Origin and Meaning

The name Elysha is a boy's name.

Elysha is traditionally a feminine name that has crossed over to masculine usage. It represents a creative spelling variant of Elisha, which has Hebrew origins meaning 'God is my salvation.' The biblical Elisha was a prophet and successor to Elijah. The spelling with a 'y' gives this ancient name a modern twist while maintaining its spiritual significance. As a masculine name, Elysha carries a gentle yet distinguished quality, with the potential nickname Ely adding to its appeal. Though still predominantly used for girls, Elysha for boys reflects the growing trend of gender-fluid naming practices and appreciation for names with softer sounds for male children.
