Leza is Basque, English, Hebrew, Spanish in Origin.
Leza is a modern feminine given name, typically pronounced LEE-zah. It is most often treated as a streamlined variant of Liza/Lisa, themselves diminutives of Elizabeth from Hebrew Elisheva, meaning "God is my oath" or "pledged to God." The name appears in English-language records from the mid-20th century, rising in step with the popularity of Lisa and Liza but remaining relatively uncommon and contemporary in feel.
Cross-culturally, Leza carries added resonance in parts of southern Africa: in Bemba (and related Zambian languages) leza denotes "God" or "the Creator," and is sometimes adopted as a theophoric given name. Related forms and spellings include Liza, Lisa, Eliza, Aliza, Leisa/Leesa, and Liesa; short forms include Liz. Outside given-name use, Leza also occurs as a Spanish/Basque place-name and surname, occasionally inspiring first-name adoption. Overall, Leza blends modern brevity with a meaning grounded in faith.
