What is the meaning of the name Aliza ?

The baby name Aliza is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced ah-LEE-zah, uh-LEE-zuh (Hebrew: ah-lee-ZAH).

Aliza is Hebrew in Origin.

Aliza is a Hebrew feminine name (עליזה), pronounced ah-LEE-zah, meaning “joyful,” “merry,” or “exultant.” It stems from the Hebrew adjective aliza, from the root ʿ-l-z denoting rejoicing and elation.

Used in Jewish communities since the late 19th century and rising in Israel in the mid-20th, the name is borne by figures such as Aliza Begin (spouse of Prime Minister Menachem Begin) and actress Aliza Gur. Common variants and spellings include Alizah and Alyza; nicknames Ali and Liza are seen in English. Aliza is sometimes confused with Eliza (a form of Elizabeth, “my God is an oath”), but in Hebrew it is etymologically distinct. In South Asian and Middle Eastern contexts, usage may also be influenced by Arabic Aziza (“dear; precious”), a phonetic cousin whose popularity has encouraged parallel spellings and broader cross-cultural adoption.
