■C' LIZA is another of the Elizabeth
cycle of feminine names. With
the single exception of Mary, there is
no other name in the language of any
country which has so many full-grown,
fully independent offsprings. Eliza,
which at first glance would seem to he
Elizabeth with one syllable removed,
has really an Interesting little history
of her own.
Tlie*name means, of course, “God’s
oath.” The Divine title known to man
before especial revelation to Moses in
the burning bush was the Hebrew
word Eli, which corresponds to our
| term Deity. This word served as a pre-
I fix to many Biblical proper names. The
1 first was Eliezer, the name of Abra-
i hum’s steward who went to bring
| home Rebecca. Later the name
| changed to Eleazer and was applied to
I Aaron’s eldest surviving son.
Following this hit of etymological
j history, Eliza would seem more likely
I the feminine of Eleazar than a mere
contraction of Elizabeth. The latter
explanation, however, is most general
ly adhered to, due, perhaps, to the in
fluence of Elizabethan poetry and
drama, which endeavored to improve
on the name of the good queen, by
terndng her Eliza.
The popularity and prevalence of
Eliza became widespread early In the
Nineteenth century, and there are'fre
quent instances of both names being
given in baptism to different children
in the same family.
The aquamarine is Eliza’s talismanic
gem. It promises her travel and
change, and many friends. Saturday
is her lucky day and 2 her lucky num
ber.

Whereat it was my whim
To answer unto him
That gray e'er seemed to me

Of my dear father's hair,
And many a friend of mine
Whose friendship was divine
In kindliness and wit
Was fitly crowned with it.
