About the name Elison
The origin and meaning of Elison are not known with certainty. The Morfemário of the Dicionário de Nomes em Uso no Brasil cites Elison among the Brazilian names with the element Eli-, of doubtful origin, perhaps linked to Eli, a short form of Eliel; the ending -son comes, according to the same Morfemário, from English -son, 'son of', present in Alison and Anderson. The dictionary lists Elisom, Elyson, Helison and Helyson as spelling variants. In the 2022 Census, IBGE recorded 10,473 people named Elison, with a median age of 26. Proportionally, the name is most common in Amazonas.
It is the most common spelling in the group, with a single S, which even between vowels has an S sound, as the Morfemário notes for the ending -son.
