Etymology[]
Ye Sha's (葉莎) name is made up of two characters. The first may be a reference to the manga's creator, Yoko Kamio, whose given name starts with the same character. It means "life" or "era."[6] The second character (莎) refers to trees, including the cyperus rotundus. Ye Sha's name is likely a play on Shan Cai's name, which has similar botanical meanings. Additionally, Elsa is her English name or birth name.[1]
