Eisa

• Origin: Old Norse
• Meaning: “glowing ember.”
• Gender: Female
• I-sah

The name comes directly from the Old Norse word meaning “glowing ember.” In Norse Mythology, this is the name of one of the beautiful daughters of Logi (fire), and Glöð (glowing embers).

Later, it came to be associated as a pet form of Elizabeth or a German form of Aise (short form of any Nordic name beginning in the Egg-, Agi– element.)

Note: the name can also be an Arabic form of Jesus.
