Meaning & origin
Litzi first appeared in U.S. Social Security records in 1999, but it has never ranked among the top 1,000 names. Its peak year was 2000, and since then usage has remained very low, with fewer than 5 babies per year on average. The name is a German and English diminutive of Elizabeth, meaning 'God is my oath'. It is not associated with any top states, reflecting its rarity across the country. Litzi offers a distinctive, affectionate alternative to more common nicknames like Lizzie or Lissy.
Litzi is a diminutive form of Elizabeth, which derives from the Hebrew name Elisheva, meaning 'God is my oath'. The name came into use in English and German-speaking countries as a pet form, often for girls named Elizabeth or Liesel. It has been used sporadically, particularly in the 20th century.
