Elsy is a diminutive form of the name Elizabeth, which is derived from the Hebrew name Elisheva. The name Elisheva is composed of two elements: 'El' meaning 'God' and 'shava' meaning 'oath' or 'abundance'.

The name Elizabeth is a biblical name, borne by the mother of John the Baptist in the New Testament. It has been a popular name among Christians for centuries and has many variations and diminutive forms across different languages and cultures.

While Elsy is a diminutive form, it has developed its own distinct identity and is now used as a standalone name for girls, particularly in certain regions or communities.
