Lisa

Lisa is a short form of Elisabeth, which derives from the Hebrew name Elisheba, composed of the elements meaning God and oath or abundance. The name gained widespread international use largely through its adoption across Western European languages as a familiar diminutive of Elizabeth and its Romance equivalent Isabella. It rose to particular cultural prominence in the twentieth century, becoming one of the most popular given names in the English-speaking world during the 1960s and 1970s. Related forms include Elisa, Lise, Liesel, and Liza.
