Elsa, derived from the Old Germanic words 'Helm' and 'Sige', translates to 'pledge of victory'. This elegant moniker has been popularized by various characters in literature and media, notably in Disney's "Frozen", where Princess Elsa possesses enchanting ice powers. It is of Scandinavian origin, associated with the historical figure Saint Elsius, a sixth-century bishop who was revered in Norway. Today, Elsa ranks among the top 1000 baby names in several countries, including the United States and Canada.
"Elsa was a popular name twice in the past century, with five girls named Elsa born each in 1924 and 1973, and five more in 1976. It also saw a brief spike in popularity in 1959 with six births that year."
