History & Origin

Lyzette is a decorative respelling of Lisette, itself a French affectionate form of Elizabeth. Through Elizabeth it reaches back to the Hebrew Elisheva, 'God is my oath,' so a solemn ancient meaning sits beneath its light, fashionable spelling.

The y-spelling stayed rare, cresting around 1999 and appearing only here and there afterward. A Lyzette from that peak is a young adult today.

Did you know? The French turned Elizabeth into a whole bouquet of endings, and -ette forms like Lisette carry a delicate, diminutive charm that later American respellings such as Lyzette played up.
