Elsie

Girl's name, dated

Elsie is a feminine given name, originally a Scottish diminutive of Elizabeth.

It was popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, fell out of fashion, and has recently revived: Little Elsie is named after her great-grandmother.

Elsie also appears as a placeholder name for cows, from the Borden dairy company's cartoon mascot.
