Meaning & Origin
A taxonomic genus within the family Mugilidae – a large group of mullets.
Liza is a girl's and boy's baby name of Hebrew origin, a short form of Elizabeth, from the Hebrew Elisheba meaning 'God is my oath' or 'pledged to God.' Liza Minnelli — the Oscar, Tony, and Grammy-winning daughter of Judy Garland — turned the name into a symbol of Broadway brilliance and entertainment royalty.
Over 17,510 U.S. births are recorded. Liza has more personality than Lisa and more jazz-age style than Eliza — a name that arrives in a room before you do.
