I have an Elisheva. She was the wife of Aharon, the sister of Nachshon, the mother of the first performers of service in the mishkan.
The name means my Hashem is my oath, but you can also read it as sa-veah (with a sin, not a shin)my Hashem is my satisfaction.

I love the name Elisheva!
Batsheva is also gorgeous and was Rebbitzen Kanievsky's name.

Is she named after someone or you liked it? I like the translation of Hashem is my satisfaction but don't really understand the meaning of Hashem is my oath.

Love the name, it’s my daughter’s second name.
It’s not “my oath” because it is שבע not שבעי
As far as we know, it can be sort of translated as “my G-d promised” so then it can be paired with basically anything else with a nice meaning. G-d promised Nechama, Ruchama, Menucha, Rina, Shalva, Chaya, Bracha, etc. My daughter is Nechama Elisheva (G-d promised comfort; she was our firstborn after years of infertility), and I know an Elisheva Chaya.
It has the same gematria as ימי שמחה so it’s appropriate for Adar. (My daughter was born in Adar, five years ago.)
And Elisheva in Tanach was the wife of Aharon and sister of Nachshon.

She's named for someone- and we love the name.
We call her Ellie, but I know other Elishevas who go be Shevi.

no, but why should that matter? You either like the name or you don't. And since both women were fine examples of virtuous Jewish womanhood, how can you go wrong?
I happen to love the name, btw.

I learned that in ima and couldn't believe it until I looked it up and found it in a mikraos gedolos in fine print.
(You can google chabad.org for the source. It's a rav/Shmuel disagreement. Rashi quotes Rat's shitah.https://www.chabad.org/parshah/article_cdo/aid/3555182/jewish/Who-Were-Shifra-and-Puah-the-Hebrew-Midwives.htm#:~:text=The%20sage%20Shmuel%20argued%20that%20Puah%20was%20actually,newborns%20by%20cleaning%20them%20and%20straightening%20their%20limbs.)

I know someone who was told to add it as a second name when she was in her twenties. I think it comes kabbalistically under the realm of chessed so is meant to be bring down chessed from Hashem
