Elsa
Germanic feminine name
Elsa is a Scandinavian given name, a shortened form of Elizabeth.
The name surged in popularity after 2013 as the protagonist of Disney's *Frozen* franchise—a queen with ice powers whose signature song "Let It Go" became inescapable.
Parents naming daughters Elsa now inevitably evoke the character: She was named Elsa before the movie came out, but everyone assumes it's because of Frozen.
