A short form of Elizabeth, ultimately from Hebrew, meaning God is my oath.
Lizz is a short form of Elizabeth, ultimately from the Hebrew phrase meaning God is my oath. The double-z spelling gives the familiar nickname a sharper, more modern visual profile, while the sound remains simple and direct.
It is a name that compresses a very old tradition into a compact contemporary form. Because it is so brief, Lizz feels casual, stylish, and slightly edgy. It has the flexibility of a nickname but enough visual distinctiveness to stand on its own. The result is a name that is minimal in length yet strongly rooted in one of the most enduring name families in English.
