History & Origin

Valisa is a blended name marrying the Val- of Valerie to Lisa. Valerie descends from Latin 'valere,' to be strong; Lisa is a short form of Elizabeth, God is my oath. Valisa borrows both sounds, offering the strength of one name and the softness of the other.

It was never common, given to only a couple dozen girls a year around its 1970 peak and gone by the mid-1990s. A Valisa from that time is in her fifties now; it reads as a coined blend of its era rather than a revival.

Did you know? Valisa is a neat merger of two favorites of its day, Valerie and Lisa, folded into one flowing coinage.
