Liz Origin and Meaning
The name Liz is a girl's name of Hebrew origin meaning "pledged to God".
Some might think a girl named Liz on her birth certificate would feel deprived of her full identity, but in a time when mini names like Liv, Kit, Tru, Kai, Lou, and Bea are in style, Liz feels substantial enough that its bearer won't feel bereft.
A solid, succinct nickname, it was famously borne by actress Elizabeth Taylor, while plenty of others have used it professionally, even if they were born Elizabeth. A few noteworthy Liz's include actress and disability rights activist Liz Carr, politician Liz Truss, presenter Liz Bonnin, and actress Liz Fraser.
Liz ranks as a stand-alone choice in the Netherlands, pronounced LEEZ.
