Lissie Origin and Meaning

The name Lissie is a girl's name.

Lissie is a feminine name that functions as a diminutive of Elisabeth or Elizabeth, though it has also developed as a standalone name. With Hebrew origins through Elizabeth (meaning 'God is my oath'), Lissie offers a playful, affectionate alternative to the more formal original. This sweet, vintage-inspired nickname gained modest popularity in the late 19th and early 20th centuries alongside other diminutive forms like Lizzie and Bessie. After a period of decline, it has seen renewed interest as parents embrace vintage nicknames as given names. Lissie strikes a balance between youthful charm and timeless appeal, providing a friendly, approachable quality while maintaining connections to the regal, historical Elizabeth. Its simple, melodic sound gives it a naturally warm character.
