Lise

Lise is a French and Scandinavian short form of Elisabeth, which derives from the Hebrew name Elisheba, composed of the elements meaning God and oath or abundance. The name has been widely used across France and the Nordic countries, carried by figures in literature and science, most notably the Austrian-Swedish physicist Lise Meitner, a pioneer in nuclear research. Related forms include Lisa, Liese, Lisette, and Elise, all tracing back to the same Hebrew root through Latin and Greek transmission.
