What is the origin of the name May-Liss?

May-Liss is a Scandinavian/German name. The name 'May-Liss' is a compound name, typically combining the English month name 'May' (from Latin *Maius*, associated with the goddess Maia) with 'Liss', a short form of Elizabeth (from Hebrew *Elisheva*, meaning "God is my oath"), thus carrying the blended meaning "the month of May's God is my oath." It is used primarily in Scandinavian and German-speaking cultures, particularly in Norway and Germany, where compound names became fashionable in the 20th century, though it lacks notable historical figures or deep religious tradition.
