Elisio

Meaning & origin

Elisio is a modern and rare given name that first appeared in United States Social Security records in 2001. As of 2025, it ranked 5,861st in popularity, with an estimated 1 in 113,872 male babies receiving the name. The name has been on a rising trajectory since 2013, and its peak year of usage so far is 2025, suggesting growing but still very limited interest. Elisio is a variation of the Spanish and Italian name Eliseo, itself derived from the Hebrew Elisha, meaning 'Yahweh is my God'. Because of its recent emergence and low frequency, no top states for the name have been recorded. The name's appeal likely lies in its melodic sound and connection to more established religious names, while maintaining a distinct and uncommon identity.

Elisio is a modern elaboration of Eliseo, the Spanish and Italian form of Elisha, which itself derives from the Hebrew name Elisha, meaning 'Yahweh is my God'. The name has seen occasional use in Spanish-speaking and Portuguese-speaking communities, as well as in Italy. It remains a rare given name in the United States, where it first appeared in Social Security records in 2001.
