Liza
A girls’ name of Hebrew origin, meaning god is my oath; form of Elizabeth.
Liza by the numbers
In 2025, 12 babies in England and Wales were named Liza. In the US, 116 were, though that figure is from 2017, the most recent full year we hold.
For the size of the two countries, it is given noticeably more often in the US than in England and Wales.
Its American peak was 518 babies in 1973, so it is a 1970s name that has since fallen a long way.
