History & Origin

Lisett is the pared-down spelling of Lisette, a French pet form of Elisabeth. The root is the Hebrew Elisheva, 'God is my oath'. French built it up with the fond -ette ending, and American parents trimmed the final e for a leaner look in the later twentieth century.

It stayed a small choice, reaching only a couple dozen girls a year around 1999 and remaining uncommon. A girl named Lisett then is in her twenties now.

Did you know? Lisett packs two French diminutive steps: Elisabeth to Lise, then Lise to Lisette, all still carrying Elisabeth's meaning, 'God is my oath'.
