If baby has Hebrew roots, you may be looking for the perfect biblical name for sharing your faith. Say shalom to beautiful Eleisha! This rare form of Elisha derives from the ancient name Elishu'a, which combines el, meaning "God," and sha, meaning "help." It's most common among baby girls. As your little one spreads their wings, you may find compassion and kindness come naturally to them. After all, they'll be taking after the prophet Elisha. This fascinating role model was an advisor to kings and a celebrated miracle worker. They even healed the waters of Jericho with but a jar of salt. Perhaps if you're lucky, baby will use their restorative powers to keep their room nice and tidy!
