Lissy

Lissy is a German and English name for girls that's most often considered a diminutive of Elisabeth and Melissa. From the Hebrew Elisabeth, Lissy adopts the meaning "my God is an oath," making it a sweet choice inspired by faith. From the Greek Melissa, Lissy's charm is amplified with the meaning "bee," bringing to mind these cute pollinators that work so hard to help nature flourish. But it doesn't have to end there—Lissy could be a short form of any moniker with a liss or lissa sound, from Elissa to Shalissa, Louisa, Alice, and more. Lissy invites you to explore many possibilities and grants your kiddo the freedom to choose their favorite meaning when they grow up.
