Elsie

אֱלִישֶׁבַע

• Gender: Female
• Origin: Jew-ish
• Meaning: God is my oath

• Elsie is a charming diminutive of Elizabeth, which itself comes from the Hebrew Elisheva, meaning "God is my oath." It has the kind of vintage sweetness that never really goes out of style, evoking a warmth and friendliness that is hard to resist. For Jewish families, it offers a lovely way to connect to deep Hebrew roots through a name that feels cozy and familiar.

  Riding the massive vintage revival wave alongside Sadie, Rosie, and Hazel, this name belongs right there with them. Its connection to Elisheva gives it genuine Jewish depth beneath its adorable, old-fashioned exterior. It ages sweetly from a curly-haired toddler to a confident adult — darling and meaningful in one tiny package.
