Eloisza

Origin

Eloisza is a variation of the name 'Eloisa' or 'Elisa', with roots in Latin and Hebrew. The name originates from the Latin 'Elisabetha', itself derived from the Hebrew name 'Elisheva', meaning 'My God is an oath' or 'God is my satisfaction'. The variant 'Eloisza' reflects a Slavic influence, particularly found in Polish and Hungarian contexts, though it is quite rare in mainstream Australia. It is not directly linked to Aboriginal or Māori languages, thus considered a European-derived name.

Meaning

Literal translation is 'My God is an oath' or 'God is my satisfaction,' conveying devotion and faithfulness. In Australian English, it retains this spiritual nuance, often chosen for its classical and elegant connotation.

Pronunciation

/ɛˈlɔɪzə/ or /ɛˈlɔɪza/ depending on regional pronunciation, with emphasis on the second syllable. In Australian English, the pronunciation is typically /ɛˈlɔɪzə/.
