Etymology & Historical Origin of the Baby Name Aliza

Many people assume Aliza is an altered form of Eliza, but it’s not. Aliza is actually a Hebrew female name (עַלִיזָה) meaning “joyful” (whereas Eliza is a diminutive of Elizabeth). One notable Jewish Aliza was Aliza Begin, the beloved wife of former Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin. Interestingly we can only find evidence of this name on the charts in North America and Australia (which suggests parents may be using it as an alternative to Eliza).

Popularity

OF THE GIRL NAME ALIZA

Aliza made her debut on the American charts in the year 2000, so it’s only been in circulation since the 21st century. It’s unclear what prompted Aliza’s sudden appearance on the charts. Perhaps it had something to do with Aliza Sherman, one of the first women entrepreneurs on the Internet with her 1995 constructions of Cybergrrl, Inc. followed by Webgrrls International. In any case, Aliza has remained on the low end of the Top 1000 list of female names given in the United States. We should also point out that Aliza is pronounced “ah-LEE-zah” rather than “ah-LIE-zah” – but both are pretty enough. Although Aliza’s etymology is a little more “joyful”.
