Lyisa is a modern feminine given name, likely coined as an inventive variant of Lisa or as a blend of the elements lys ("lily," in French) and -isa, a diminutive stem seen in names like Elisa and Marisa. Through Lisa, it connects to Hebrew Elisheva (Elizabeth), interpreted as "my God is an oath" or "God is abundance." Some also read Lyisa as a stylized take on Luisa/Louisa - ultimately from Germanic Hludwig - associating it with the meaning "famous in battle," though this link is more associative than etymological.

Usage is rare and contemporary, showing up in English-speaking countries and occasionally in Europe where Y-insertions are fashionable in modern spellings. Related forms and near-variants include Lisa, Lysa, Lyssa, Liza, Elisa, Elysa, Eliza, Alisa, Luisa, and Louisa. Possible nicknames are Isa, Ly, or Lise.
