Meaning & origin

Lisia is a name of uncertain origin, first appearing in U.S. birth records in 1959. It reached its peak year of usage in 1966, but has since followed a stable trajectory with very limited use. Because it never ranked in the top 1000, its one-in-N value is unavailable, reflecting fewer than 5 annual births in recent years. The name appears to be a modern respelling of Leticia or a creative coinage, and it is used almost exclusively for girls. Its rarity gives it a distinctive quality, and parents drawn to uncommon names ending in -ia may find it appealing.

Lisia is a name of uncertain origin, first recorded in the United States in 1959. It may be a respelling or variant of Leticia (derived from Latin laetitia, 'joy, happiness'), or a modern invention formed from the popular -ia suffix. Its usage peaked in 1966 but remains rare, with a stable low trajectory.
