The Story Behind Else-Maj
Else-Maj is a Scandinavian double-barreled name, combining two distinct elements. 'Else' is a Low German diminutive of Elisabeth, which itself is derived from the Hebrew name Elisheva, meaning 'my God is an oath' or 'my God is abundance'. 'Maj' is a Scandinavian form of 'Mai', which can be a short form of Maja (itself a diminutive of Maria or a form of Maia from Greek mythology) or simply refer to the month of May. The combination creates a name with a gentle, somewhat old-fashioned charm, popular in Nordic countries.
