lisa
リサ
解説 Definition
英語圏で一般的な女性の名前。Elizabethの短縮形。
Lisa is a common female given name, traditionally used as a short form of Elizabeth. It identifies a particular person and is therefore normally written with an initial capital letter.
覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
Lisa は人名なので、通常は語頭を大文字にして Lisa と書く。Elizabeth から生まれた短い形の一つで、Eliza や Beth も同じ名前の仲間。Lisa works as a nurse のように主語になり、Mona Lisa では著名な絵画名の一部になる、と場面ごと覚える。
Remember Lisa as a personal name related to Elizabeth, alongside other shortened forms such as Eliza and Beth. Because it is a proper name, write it with a capital L: Lisa, not lisa. In a sentence such as Lisa works as a nurse, the name identifies one particular woman. The same spelling appears in Mona Lisa, where Lisa forms part of the title of the famous painting. Linking the name to both an ordinary person and the familiar painting gives you two natural contexts without changing its basic role as a name.

lisa の語源・成り立ち Etymology
ヘブライ語の女性名 Elisheba（אלישבע）に由来する Elizabeth の短縮形。El（神）+ sheba（誓い）で「神は我が誓い」の意。中世ヨーロッパで Elisabeth → Lisa と愛称化した。関連名: Eliza、Beth。
Lisa developed as a shortened form of Elisabeth or Elizabeth in European languages. Elizabeth ultimately comes from the Hebrew name Elisheba, commonly interpreted as “my God is an oath” or “God is my oath.” Through the long use of Elisabeth and related forms in Europe, shorter familiar forms arose, including Lisa, Eliza, and Beth. Lisa later became widely established as an independent given name rather than being used only as a nickname.
