ailsa.
My query is one site gives the origin of ailsa as Hebrew and the meaning is devoted to God.
Another tells it as origin Old Norse and meaning Alfsigr.
Anyone from either of these back grounds who can enlighten me.
Regards ailsa.

It does - indirectly - if it's a nickname for Elizabeth. See my previous post on Ailsa down near the bottom of the board.:-)

Oh, ok, I was thinking "directly" lol
Indirectly then yes, like this Elisheva -> Elizabeth -> Aisla :)
