Meaning & origin
Lissett is a rare American name first recorded in 1967, suggesting a modern coinage. It peaked in 1999, but has never entered the top 1,000 rankings, remaining a low-frequency choice. Its trajectory has been stable since the 1990s, with no notable resurgence. The name is likely an elaborated form of Lisa or a variant of Lisette, but its exact etymology is uncertain. Because it has never ranked nationally, it lacks a dominant state or region.
Lissett first appeared in the United States in the late 1960s. It is likely a modern invention, possibly influenced by the name Lisa or the French name Lisette. Its earliest recorded use in Social Security data was in 1967, and it saw modest popularity in the 1990s, peaking in 1999. The name has no clear historical or linguistic roots beyond being a creative variation.
