There can be many names whose masculine and feminine forms coincide. E.g., there are many French names of that kind, some even with identical spelling (Dominique etc.).

Elisha for a male is a byblical name.
Elisha for a female is a diminutive for Elisabeth (Elisaveta) in some Slavic languages.

For Jan, there is godd explanation in the database.
