Eliska

Meaning of Eliska

Eliska, pronounced eh-LEESH-kah (/ɛˈliːʃka/), is a Czech feminine name that ultimately derives from the Hebrew Elisheva through the Latin Elisabetha, carrying the meaning “God is my oath.” Embedded in Central European and Roman Catholic traditions, Eliska has surfaced in Bohemian court records since the Middle Ages and today bridges Slavic straightforwardness with Latin elegance. In the United States its usage has remained modest but steady: recorded by the Social Security Administration in select years since the 1940s, it ranked as high as 590 in 1918 and most recently held the 938th spot in 2022 with six newborns bearing the name. This combination of historical depth and refined simplicity makes Eliska an appealing choice for parents seeking a distinctive, culturally rich name for their daughter.
