Elsa

Elsa is a feminine given name of Germanic origin. It is derived from the Old Norse name Alsvidr, which means "all-wise". In Norse mythology, Alsvidr is the horse that pulls the chariot of the sun across the sky each day. The name Elsa has been used in various forms throughout history. It was popular among Scandinavian royalty during the Middle Ages and early modern period. For example, Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom is a member of the House of Windsor, which can be traced back to its German origins through the Electress Sophia of Hanover. Today, Elsa continues to be a popular name for girls in many countries around the world. While it may be best known as the name of the queen in Disney's "Frozen" films, this has not significantly impacted its usage or meaning beyond its traditional Germanic origins and historical significance.
