Delisa is English in Origin.
Delisa is a modern given name, chiefly American, formed by adding the productive prefix De- to Lisa. Lisa is a short form of Elizabeth, from Hebrew Elisheva “my God is an oath,” so Delisa is often taken to mean “pledged to God.” Its sound also echoes Latin deliciae (“delight”), seen in Delicia and French délice. A parallel exists in the Italian surname De Lisa (“of Lisa”), though this is a rarer source for the given name.
The name gained wider use in the United States in the mid‑20th century and saw modest peaks in the 1970s–80s, particularly within African‑American naming traditions that favored creative prefixes. It remains uncommon today. Recorded variants include DeLisa, D’Lisa, Delissa, Deliza, Delicia, Delisha, Delise, and Delyssa; related forms are Lisa, Liza, Elisa, Eliza, and Elizabeth.
