Meaning & origin
Liseth is a modern English variant of Elizabeth that first appeared on the U.S. popularity charts in 1976. It reached its peak rank of 9457th in 1999, but since 2022 its usage has been rising slightly. With a 1-in-160727 occurrence, it remains a rare but recognizable choice. The name is almost exclusively given to girls and has not been strongly associated with any particular U.S. state.
Liseth is likely a modern English spelling variant of Elizabeth, which derives from the Hebrew name Elisheva, meaning 'God is my oath'. Elizabeth was borne by a biblical figure, the mother of John the Baptist, and became widespread in Christian cultures. The form Liseth, with a simplified spelling, emerged in the late 20th century, particularly in the United States.
