Lissette

Lissette is a charming feminine name of French origin, functioning as a diminutive form of Elizabeth or Lisa. The name Elizabeth derives from the Hebrew 'Elisheva', meaning 'God is my oath' or 'pledged to God'. Lissette emerged as a pet form with the characteristic French diminutive suffix '-ette', adding a sense of delicacy and sweetness. Popular in French-speaking regions and Latin American countries, Lissette has maintained steady usage without becoming overly common. The name carries a graceful, feminine quality with its soft sounds and rhythmic syllables. While honoring the traditional Elizabeth, Lissette offers a more distinctive alternative with a touch of European flair. The name experienced modest popularity peaks during the 1970s and 1980s in the United States.

Lissette is also given to boys.

Pronounced lih-SET.
