Rizza is a modern given name most common for girls in the Philippines. It likely builds on Riza, popular there through admiration for national hero José Rizal and by blending with the familiar nickname Liza (from Elizabeth). This yields layered meanings: from Elizabeth, “God is my oath,” and, by association with Turkish/Arabic Rıza/riḍā, the sense of “contentment” or “approval” (though that form is typically masculine and spelled differently). Outside the Philippines, Rizza also appears as an Italian surname derived from Rizzo/Riccio, “curly(-haired),” which sometimes informs its stylistic appeal as a given name.

Use as a first name rose in late 20th‑century Filipino communities and persists in the diaspora. Variants and related forms include Riza, Risa, Rizalina, Rizaline, and Rizelle; English cognates are Liza and Eliza. Nicknames include Riz, Rizzy/Rizzie, and Zza. The name is rare but distinctive across cultures.
