Lysimache is Greek in Origin.

Lysimache is the Latinized form of Ancient Greek Λυσιμάχη (Lysimakhē), composed of lysis “release, loosening; deliverance” and machē “battle.” The name therefore means “she who ends strife,” “releaser from battle,” or more broadly “peace-bringer through strength.” It is the feminine counterpart of Lysimachos/Lysimachus.

Attested in classical Athens, the best-known bearer is Lysimache, priestess of Athena Polias in the 4th century BCE, honored for decades of service and memorialized with a statue by the sculptor Cephisodotus on the Acropolis. While never common, the name appears in inscriptions and literary references across the Hellenic world, then fell out of general use before sporadic antiquarian revivals in modern Greek and francophone contexts. Variants and renderings include Lysimakhē (scholarly transliteration), Lysimaché (French), and the simplified Lysimache in English; related masculine and family forms are Lysimachus and Lysimachos. Possible short forms are Lyse, Lyssa, or Mache.
