Alitzah is Hebrew in Origin.

Alitzah is a feminine Hebrew name, a variant spelling of Aliza/Alizah. It comes from the adjective aliz (עליז) and its feminine form alizah (עליזה), meaning “joyful,” “merry,” or “exultant.” The underlying word appears in Biblical Hebrew as an epithet for a “joyous” city and persists in liturgical and modern usage, so the given name carries a clear sense of gladness and celebration.

In naming practice, Alitzah has circulated in Jewish communities and enjoyed a 20th‑century boost in Israel alongside other modern Hebrew virtue names. Variant forms include Aliza, Alizah, and Alitza; Alitzah with -tz- and a final -h reflects alternative transliteration choices. Informal short forms can be Ali or Lizi. Similar-looking names such as Eliza or Alicia (from Elizabeth) are unrelated in origin, as is the Slavic Elitsa (“fir tree”); Alitzah remains distinctly Hebrew in meaning and tone.
