Meaning & origin
Lizzet is a rare and modern feminine name that first appeared on U.S. birth certificates in 1976. Its usage peaked in 2008, with a consistent but low level of popularity since then.

While the exact derivation is uncertain, the name fits a pattern of creative respellings and embellishments seen in American naming trends.
