Meaning & origin
Lisset entered the U.S. naming landscape in 1967 and has been given almost exclusively to girls. Its peak year came in 2004, when the name saw its highest usage. Since 2022, its trajectory has been rising, reflecting a modest resurgence. The name ranks 11,932 as of 2025, and approximately 1 in every 229,610 newborns receives it. While Lisset has not reached the top states, its blend of a classic root with a fashionable ending has given it steady appeal in Hispanic and English-speaking communities.
Lisset is a modern coinage that blends the name Lisa (a short form of Elizabeth, from Hebrew Elisheva meaning 'God is my oath') with the fashionable French-derived suffix -sette, often simplified to -set. The name emerged in Spanish-speaking communities and was adopted in the United States starting in the late 1960s. Its use peaked in the early 2000s and remains primarily female.
