Meaning: My god is a vow

Elsi is a name that exudes both lightheartedness and godliness, making it a popular choice for parents. The name is derived from the Greek version of the Hebrew name Elisheva, which means "my god is a vow. " Originally, it was a diminutive of Elisabet, the Scandinavian and Finnish variant of Elizabeth. Over time, Elsi has evolved from being a less common variant to gaining popularity, especially in Finland. Its ending -i adds to its cuteness, making it a unique and appealing choice. The biblical connection of the name lends it an air of divinity, enhancing its appeal.
