Lisa

Lisa is an English and Italian short form of Elisabeth, which derives from the Hebrew name Elisheba, composed of the elements el, meaning God, and sheva, meaning oath or abundance, thus carrying the sense of my God is an oath or my God is abundance. The name gained widespread international recognition partly through Leonardo da Vinci's famous portrait known as the Mona Lisa, depicting Lisa Gherardini. It rose to peak popularity in English-speaking countries during the mid-twentieth century. Related forms include Elisa, Lise, Liese, and Liesel.
