Elisa is a feminine and masculine (though not as common) given name. It is of Phoenician origin. According to legend, the first queen of Carthage was Elissa (also known as Dido). Another opinion is that it is a shortened form of Elisabeth, a variant of the Biblical name Elizabeth or that it is a shortened version of Elisha or Eliseus.
In the Greek (Septuagint) version of the Book of Genesis, Elisa is listed as one of the grandsons of Noah born after the flood.
