Elysia

Updated: by Olivia Mittak

Elysia has two potential origins. Some associate it with Greek mythology. Others believe it's a derivative of one of the most common names in history. It also happens to be the name of a group of sea slugs. Either way, in a world of Elises and Alyssas, Elysia feels fresh and new, so we expected it to become pretty popular over the next few years. We like the way Elysia sounds with one-syllable middle names like Rae, Brooke, and Skye, but it pairs well with multi-syllable names too.
