What is the meaning of the name Lissette ?

Lissette is in Origin.

Lissette is a French-derived diminutive of Élisabeth, ultimately from Hebrew Elisheva via Greek Elisabet and Latin Elisabeth. The name carries the time‑honored meaning “God is my oath” or “pledged to God.” In French it is usually spelled Lisette; Lissette, pronounced li-ZET, reflects a Hispanic and Anglophone adaptation while preserving the elegant -ette ending.

Attested in France since the 18th–19th centuries as a pet form that often stood alone, the spelling Lissette gained currency in Spanish‑speaking communities and in the United States during the late 20th century, aided by Latin pop singer Lissette Álvarez and broader affection for chic, compact Elizabeth-variants. Related forms include Lisette, Lizette, Lysette, Lisetta (Italian), and the clipped Lisset; nicknames range from Lise and Lis to Lissy and Setti. Lissette offers a cosmopolitan alternative to Elizabeth and Elise while retaining classic roots and cross‑cultural familiarity.
