The standard Polish form of this name is Eliza, but Elisa has been in use too. Last year (2022), 6 baby girls were given the name Elisa. Additional 2 were given it as their middle name. As of January this year, 619 women in Poland have been bearing this name, plus 170 others in the middle spot. It's a very straightforward and international name that gets along well with Polish phonetics, plus it's so similar to Eliza which has been well-liked for years though never very common, so Elisa would definitely feel rare over here but not extremely out there. Possible nicknames may include: Eliska, Elisia, Lisa, Liska, Lisia, Ela, Elka, Elunia, Eli, Isia etc. An Elisa could celebrate her name day in Poland either with Elżbieta (January 4, June 18, July 4 and 8, November 5 and 19) or Eliza (June 14, August 17).

It was the 16th most common baby girl name in Turkey in 2021, and the 31st most common in 2020. I don't know why people have suddenly decided to start using this name but I like it, so I hope this is not some temporary trend.
