Origin: Greek

Meaning: From the blessed isles

Bright and beaming, Elysse is a girl’s name of Greek origin that alludes to a person or thing “from the blessed isles.” The name Elysse, frilly in all its “s” sounds and vowels, is mostly known for its connections to Greek mythology and comes from the name Elysium. As tales of the ancient world tell, Elysium was a realm in the afterlife reserved only for those chosen by gods, heroes, and humans who lived in glory and great honor. And it was at this heavenly home that they would bask in the utter bliss of eternal life. While Elysium is where those of Hellenic faith hoped to find happiness, the loving eyes of little Elysse are where you’ll find yours.
