Meaning & origin

Lissandro is a modern name that first entered U.S. birth records in 2002, a relatively recent addition to the naming landscape. It blends the familiar element Lis (from Elisabeth) with the fashionable Italianate suffix -andro, echoing names like Alessandro and Leandro. The name reached its peak rank in 2010 and has been on a steady upward trajectory since 2006, particularly gaining traction in California. While still uncommon (ranked 6,446th in 2025, with roughly 1 in 131,390 boys receiving the name), its rising popularity reflects broader trends favoring novel combinations of familiar components.

Lissandro is a modern invented name, formed by blending Lis (a common short form of Elisabeth, itself from Hebrew Elisheva meaning 'my God is an oath') with the fashionable suffix -andro borrowed from names like Alessandro or Leandro. It first appeared in U.S. records in 2002 and has seen steady growth in use, particularly in California.
