Meaning & History

(female), (male) Traditionally a male Biblical name derived from Hebrew el ‘God’ + sha ‘to help or save’. It is borne in the Bible by a prophet, the disciple and successor of Elijah, whose story is told in the Second Book of Kings. It has long been popular among Christian fundamentalists as a boy's name, but is now increasingly frequent as a girl's name, perhaps influenced by Alicia.

Variant: Eleesha (female).
