Lysiane
Lysiane Origin and Meaning
Popular in France in the mid-20th-century, Lysiane is a sweet but sharp compound name blending the French Lys and the classic Anne.
The name has a double meaning because Lys is both a short form of Élisabeth and associated with the French word lis meaning "lily". Lysiane could therefore be interpreted as meaning "graceful lily" or "pledged to God's grace."
Other sources suggest it could be a short form of Lysianassa, a Greek name meaning "queen who liberates and releases", or perhaps even of Lysandra, meaning "liberator". Its use in France is more likely linked to it being a compound name.
Notable bearers of the name include actresses Lysiane Meis and Lysiane Rey and journalist Lysiane Gagnon, while alternative forms include Lysianne and Lysiana.
