Around the world, Еліз (Elyse 
, Еліз 
) is a common primarily feminine, but very infrequently masculine forename. The forename Еліз is characteristic of Sub-Saharan Africa, particularly Madagascar, where it is quite a rare feminine name, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, where it is quite a rare epicene name, and Cameroon, where it is quite a rare largely female, but uncommonly masculine name. Measured by absolute frequency, it is commonest in the United States, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Madagascar. Much less frequently, Еліз is the last name as well as the forename.
