[Facts] Any info on the name Elysse?
I think it's of Greek origin and means "from the blessed isles". Is it related to Elise? Any more info?

It is a version of Elise, but this spelling and meaning were likely influenced by Elysia, Elysian, Elysium, etc. The Blessed Isles, or Elysian Fields, were a blissful afterlife reserved for heroes in Greek mythology.https://www.behindthename.com/name/elysia
