Lisl is a charming German-derived female name, a diminutive of Elizabeth, carrying the significant Hebrew-rooted meaning "God is my oath" or "God is my satisfaction". It gained popularity in late 19th-century Germany and Austria-Hungary, initially as a pet name for Liselotte or Elizabeth, but now stands independently. Notable figures like Czech painter Lisl Wagnerová and Austrian-American actress Lisl Steiner have helped perpetuate its uniqueness.
