Élise, Elise

Élise comes from Elisabeth, which is a variant spelling of Elizabeth. In English speaking countries, where it has been used since the late 19th century, the name is often spelled Elise (without the accent.) The name is used some in the U.S. (enough to usually be in the top 300, if not top 500 names for baby girls.) It is much more popular in other countries, including England, France, Belgium, and Norway.
