Lise

Lise is a French and Scandinavian short form of Elisabeth, which derives from the Hebrew name Elisheba, meaning my God is an oath or my God is abundance. The name has long been common across France and the Nordic countries as an independent given name rather than merely a nickname. The Austrian-Swedish physicist Lise Meitner, co-discoverer of nuclear fission, is among its most celebrated bearers. Related forms include Lisa, Liese, Lisette, and Elisabeth itself.
