Origin: Hebrew

Meaning: God is my oath

Lyssi is a girl’s name of Hebrew origin. With its meaning “God is my oath,” this moniker can go a long way in helping baby overcome any and all challenges. And as an endearing diminutive of the very popular Elizabeth or Elisabeth, it also enjoys an association with several biblical characters, including Aaron’s wife, Zechariah’s wife, and the mother of John the Baptist. While Lyssi retains the qualities of these incredible women for itself, the alternate spelling definitely gives baby the room to stand on their own two feet and be known for who they are and not for who they are related to. It’s an empowering choice, whichever way you look at it!
