Lisza Origin and Meaning

The name Lisza is a girl's name of Hungarian origin.

Lisza is a feminine name that appears to be a variant spelling of Lisa, which itself is a diminutive of Elisabeth or Elizabeth, meaning 'God is my oath' or 'pledged to God.' The distinctive 'sz' spelling may reflect Hungarian or Polish phonetic influences, where 'sz' produces a 'sh' sound. This unique spelling transforms a once-common name into something more distinctive while maintaining its recognizable sound. Lisza combines familiarity with exotic flair, potentially appealing to parents seeking a name with European resonance. The name remains quite rare, making it an uncommon choice that still carries connections to the widely recognized classic name Lisa.
