A bit of a mystery, the girl's name Jaleesa will give baby the power to tell a one-of-a-kind story with their life. Most believe it's a modern American respelling of the Hebrew name Elisheva, meaning "promise of God." Over hundreds of years, Elisheva evolved into the timeless classic Elizabeth, Eliza, and, eventually, Lisa. So, Jaleesa is essentially Lisa with a touch of jazzy flair! Ancient relic or modern invention—Jaleesa is utterly beautiful and here to stay.
