Elise

Elisabeth

Latin · “The German, Scandinavian, and French form of Elizabeth, from the Hebrew Elisheba meaning "my God is an oath" or "my God is abundance", composed of El (God) and sheva (oath or seven). The spelling Elisabeth is used in German-speaking countries and in France, and preserves the name's classical gravity without the English -z- variant. Saint Elisabeth of Hungary was a thirteenth-century princess famous for her charity.”

Gabriel

“Gabriel is derived from the Hebrew Gavriel (גַּבְרִיאֵל) meaning "God is my strength" or "man of God," composed of gavar (strength, hero) and El (God). In Jewish, Christian, and Islamic tradition, Gabriel is the archangel who serves as God's primary messenger, announcing the birth of John the Baptist and Jesus in the New Testament and dictating the Quran to Muhammad in Islam.”

Joel

“From the Hebrew יוֹאֵל (Yo'el), meaning "Yahweh is God," composed of the divine elements Yo (a form of YHWH) and El (God). Joel is the name of one of the twelve minor prophets of the Hebrew Bible and the author of the Book of Joel, which describes a devastating locust plague as divine judgment. The name entered general English use after the Protestant Reformation.”

Zephira

“From the Hebrew "Tzfirah" meaning morning, dawn, or daybreak — the joyful light that breaks the darkness. The name evokes the fresh, luminous quality of the earliest hours of day and appears in Jewish liturgical contexts as a symbol of redemption and new beginning after the darkness of exile.”

Mimmi

“Mimmi is a Scandinavian diminutive of Maria or Miriam, both ultimately deriving from the Hebrew name Miryam of debated etymology — possibly meaning "sea of bitterness", "rebelliousness", or "wished-for child". As a standalone given name, Mimmi has been used primarily in Sweden and Finland, where it functions as a light, affectionate nickname form. It is also found as a given name in its own right in Nordic countries.”

Jamie

“A diminutive of James, the English form of the Late Latin Iacobus, from the Greek Iakobos, ultimately from the Hebrew Ya'akov (Jacob), meaning "supplanter" or "he who follows at the heel." Jamie has been used as both a masculine and feminine name since at least the 18th century in Scotland, where it originated as a familiar form of James. Its gender neutrality has made it widely popular.”

Ivah

“Ivah is a biblical place name appearing in the Hebrew scriptures as a city conquered by the Assyrians, of uncertain etymology. As a given name it has occasionally been used in English-speaking countries as an archaic feminine form, possibly associated with Iva (a variant of Eve or Ivy) or treated as an ornate spelling variant.”
