Telise is of American origin, derived from the name "Telesia," which itself has Greek roots. The name means "from the remote island." It was popularized by its use in American literature and cinema during the early to mid-20th century. Telise is typically spelled with an 'e' at the end but can also be found as Telisa or Telesia. It's a unisex name, although it's more commonly given to females. In recent years, it has regained some popularity in the United States.
"Telise is quite rare, with only five babies named Telise born each year on average."
