Lissette

Meaning of Lissette

Lissette, a graceful diminutive of the French Lisette and ultimately of the Hebrew Elisheva (“my God is an oath”), carries both historical depth and a quietly poetic air. In the United States it has hovered in the lower 900s of popularity in recent years—steady enough to feel familiar, yet uncommon enough to avoid playground crowds—after enjoying modest peaks in the 700s around the late 1990s and early 2000s. Its syllabic balance (lih-SET) lends itself to clear articulation and a certain disciplined elegance, much like a single white lily standing proud in a Persian courtyard. Associated with fidelity and refined femininity, Lissette bridges European heritage and modern sensibility with no overt flourish, inviting comparisons to the spare beauty of Hafez’s couplets. Though it bears the analytical precision of a census ranking, the name still resonates as a quietly bold choice for parents who appreciate both lineage and lyrical reserve.
