Lisanna

Meaning of Lisanna

Lisanna, pronounced lih-SAN-uh (/lɪˈsænə/), is a feminine given name that marries the Germanic diminutive Lisa—itself rooted in Elizabeth, from the Hebrew Elisheba meaning “God is my oath”—with Anna, the Hebrew classic signifying “grace” or “favor.” In the United States its use remains rare, hovering between the 933rd and 957th most popular names over the past decade, with as few as six newborns in 2023 and peaks of eleven in several recent years. Its smooth vowel pattern and balanced structure lend it a melodic quality celebrated in Spanish and Italian contexts, where its unconventional charm and nod to Latin roots make it a distinctive, modern-yet-timeless choice.
