Lyza Origin and Meaning

The name Lyza is a girl's name.

Lyza is a feminine name that serves as a modern, streamlined variant of Elizabeth, Eliza, or Lisa. With its crisp, contemporary spelling, Lyza offers a fresh take on these traditional names while maintaining their essential sound and character. The name is concise yet melodic, with the 'z' adding a distinctive touch of uniqueness. Elizabeth, from which Lyza ultimately derives, has Hebrew origins meaning 'God is my oath' or 'God's promise.' As a shorter form, Lyza strips away some of the formal quality of Elizabeth while preserving its feminine essence. Though uncommon, Lyza appeals to parents seeking a name that feels both familiar and distinctive, with an energetic, modern vibe. Its simplicity makes it easy to spell and pronounce despite its relative rarity.
