Meaning: My God is an oath

Liesel is a girl's name derived from the Hebrew name Elizabeth and is a variant of the German name Liesl. The meaning of Liesel is "my God is an oath." The name Liesl reached iconic status following The Sound of Music, in which actress Charmian Carr played the dreamy-eyed romantic and eldest daughter, Liesl Von Trapp. Liesel has a lovely vintage feel to it and conjures images of childhood summers spent adventuring in the countryside. Whether you have Germanic heritage or are a diehard Julie Andrews and musicals fan, Liesel might just be music to your ears for your precious little one!
