That site's a bit hit & miss with meanings, in the grand scheme of things. You'd better off with behindthename.com

Mine [courtesy of behindthename]...
Sage = "From the English word, which denotes either a type of spice* or else a wise person."
Elise = "short form of Elizabeth ... From Ελισαβετ (Elisabet), the Greek form of the Hebrew name אֱלִישֶׁבַע ('Elisheva') meaning "my God is an oath" or perhaps "my God is abundance"

Hmm guess the meaning of Sage fits, or else it's rather ironic (and I do enjoy irony).

My given name has the same meaning as Elise (coming from the same root) and the meaning felt odd, as I'm not Christian. Though have grown to be a Pantheist/Pagan; so am dedicate to the Gods, and nature is abundance. Guess it still works in a way.

*actually it's a herb, but never mind.
