Lizz Origin and Meaning

The name Lizz is a girl's name.

Lizz is a feminine name that serves as a diminutive form of Elizabeth, which has Hebrew origins meaning "God is my oath" or "pledged to God." As a shorter variation, Lizz offers a modern, spunky alternative to the more traditional Elizabeth or the common nickname Liz. While less common than other Elizabeth derivatives like Lizzie or Beth, Lizz has its own distinctive charm with its double 'z' ending. The name gained some usage in the late 20th century as parents sought unique variations of classic names. Lizz projects an image of someone who is energetic, independent, and straightforward, while still carrying the historical richness of its parent name.
