A biblical prophet and student of Elijah in the Old Testament, known for performing miracles and helping the poor.
From Hebrew Elishaʿ, meaning 'God is salvation.' The name combines El (God) with shuaʿ (salvation). It's a masculine given name that appears throughout Jewish and Christian traditions as a figure of spiritual authority and compassion.
Elisha's most unusual miracle involved two bears attacking children who mocked his baldness—brutal by modern standards, but it shows how seriously ancient cultures took respect for elders and prophets.
