History & Origin
Ellisha is best read as a feminine respelling that draws on both Elisha, a Hebrew name meaning God is salvation, and the modern girl names Alisha and Alicia. The doubled l and -sha ending push it toward the girl-name side. Its meaning follows whichever parent a family has in mind, most often the gentle Alisha sound.
Ellisha was never a common name. It appeared in United States records only in small numbers, given to fewer than twenty girls a year at its peak in the early nineteen-nineties.
