Elysia

Meaning: (Blissful, Struck by Lightening, God’s Oath, and Mythology: From Elysium which is the home of the blessed, known as the “Elysian Fields.”)

Origin: (Latin, Hebrew, Greek Mythology, Roman Mythology)

Pronunciation: (eh-LIHS-iy-aa, eh-LIHZ-iy-ah)

Gender: Female

This reminds of a few other Ely names on this blog but it is separate from them. It has a pretty look and the meanings are beautiful. This could be used if trying to make a comparison to Elysium or Elysian Fields, maybe bringing a characters connection to the myth. Or completely steering away from the meaning and using it for its look alone. Really this name strikes me as a sci-fi / fantasy name so I would love to see a feisty maybe dystopian heroine named this.
