History & Origin

Liset is a shortened form of Lisette or Elisabet, the French and Spanish diminutives of Elizabeth, from Hebrew Elisheba, 'God is my oath.' Popular in Hispanic-American families, it pares the name to a crisp lee-SET. It appeared from around 1967 and peaked in 1999. The spelling can mislead an English reader, so the guide helps.

A girl named Liset at its 1999 peak is now in her mid-twenties. The name reads as a modern Latina choice with deep roots in Elizabeth; it stayed uncommon, giving it a fresh feel, and it sits with Lisette, Liseth and Elizabeth. English speakers benefit from the 'lee-SET' guide, and the honorable 'God is my oath' meaning grounds it.

Did you know? Liset is a Spanish-flavored clip of Lisette, itself a small form of Elizabeth — the whole family shares the 'God is my oath' meaning.
