Lissi is in Origin.
Lissi is a tender diminutive of Elisabeth/Elizabeth, ultimately from Hebrew Elisheva meaning “my God is an oath.” It arose in German and Scandinavian usage as a pet form alongside Lise and Lissy, and also aligns with Finnish and Estonian forms related to Liisa/Liis. The pronunciation is typically LISS-ee.
As with other Elizabeth-forms popularized by medieval queens and saints - especially St. Elizabeth of Hungary - the nickname matured into an independent given name in the late 19th and 20th centuries, appearing in German-speaking countries, Denmark, Sweden, and Finland, and occasionally in English contexts. Variant spellings include Lissy, Lisi, and Lissie; related cognates and elaborations are Lise, Liese, Lisa, Liisi, Lisbeth, Lisette, Elise, Elisa, and Eliza. Its crisp, light sound keeps it contemporary while preserving the venerable theophoric meaning carried by its ancient root.
