Elyshia Origin and Meaning

The name Elyshia is a girl's name.

Elyshia is a feminine name that represents a creative spelling variant of Alicia or Elisha. With roots connecting to the Hebrew name Elisheva (Elizabeth), meaning "God is my oath," this modern adaptation emerged in the late 20th century as parents sought unique spellings for traditional names. The distinctive 'y' and 'sh' combination gives the name an elegant, flowing quality while maintaining familiar pronunciation. Though relatively uncommon, Elyshia gained some recognition in the 1990s and early 2000s, particularly in English-speaking countries where creative name spellings became increasingly popular. The name carries a delicate, feminine energy while offering individuality through its spelling.
