Meaning of the name אלישי

Elishay is a modern and touching Hebrew name that combines two significant components: "Eli" - my God, and "Shay" - gift or present. The name expresses the profound perception that a child is a precious divine gift, a blessing bestowed by the Creator. It is a name that carries deep gratitude, joy, and appreciation for the miracle of life and the special gift that is the birth of a child. The name Elishay reflects the ancient Jewish tradition of viewing children as divine blessings, as appears in numerous biblical verses. The name recalls biblical names like Elisha and Elisheva, but gives them a more personal and direct address - "Eli" instead of "El" - emphasizing the intimate and personal relationship with God.
