Meanings and history of the name Lisa

God is bountiful
God Is My Oath
God has sworn

From the Hebrew 'Elisheba'

This is also the pronunciation of the word "fox" in Russian. Perhaps some of the Lisas who are lamenting how common the name is in their cohort can take some secret pleasure in claiming the handsome, clever fox as a totem animal - or just considering themselves foxy!

"Honey Bee" - Greek. I have a 'name meaning' poster for the name 'Lisa' which states this meaning; although I have never seen it elsewhere, I, an atheist Lisa, prefer it to the common meanings.

Lis is also French for the Lily flower.
