Liz

Liz is a diminutive form of the name Elizabeth, which is of Hebrew origin. Elizabeth is derived from the Hebrew name 'Elisheva', meaning 'my God is an oath' or 'my God is abundance'.

The name Elizabeth has been a popular choice for centuries, particularly in English-speaking countries. It has been borne by numerous famous figures throughout history, including Queen Elizabeth I of England and Queen Elizabeth II.

Liz emerged as a common nickname or shortened version of Elizabeth, particularly in the 20th century. It is a casual and friendly form of the name, often used as a standalone name in its own right.

While Liz does not have a direct meaning beyond its connection to Elizabeth, it carries the same positive connotations of abundance and devotion to God that the original name implies.
