      Meaning of the first name Leeza

      Origin

      American

      Meaning

      God Is My Oath

      Variations

      Condoleeza, Leeba, Leela
      The name Leeza originates from America and derives from the Hebrew name Elizabeth, which means God Is My Oath. It is a variant spelling of the name Lisa, which gained popularity in the United States during the mid-20th century. The name Leeza first started appearing in the American naming landscape in the 1960s and 1970s, as parents sought unique alternatives to the more common Lisa. It quickly gained traction and became a distinctive name choice for girls.

      In terms of historical usage, the name Leeza does not have a long-standing background or significant references. Its origin from the name Elizabeth connects it to biblical history, as Elizabeth was a prominent figure in the New Testament, being the mother of John the Baptist. However, the name Leeza itself has not been notably featured in historical records or cultural narratives.

      In modern times, the name Leeza continues to be used as a feminine given name predominantly in the United States. Although not ranked among the most popular names, it maintains a modest presence in American society. Its variant spelling, Lisa, holds greater prominence and historical usage across various cultures, particularly in European countries. Nonetheless, Leeza remains a unique and meaningful choice for parents looking for a name that combines American origins with a spiritual connotation.
