Lisamarie

Girl name · 45 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Lisamarie: 45 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 6 births in 1986.

Lisamarie blends two classic names with deep roots: Lisa, a short form of Elizabeth from the Hebrew *Elisheva* meaning “God is my oath,” and Marie, the French variant of Mary, whose origins may be Hebrew for “beloved” or Egyptian for “bitter.” Though not a traditional Scottish name, it gained popularity as a stylish double-barrelled choice in the 1970s and 1980s. Notable bearers include Lisamarie Joyce, an Australian actress known for her role in *Neighbours*, and the name is famously linked to Lisa Marie Presley, the singer and only child of Elvis Presley. No place connections are recorded, but the compound form reflects a wider trend of combining family names or honouring two saints. In Scotland, similar hyphenated names remain a distinctive feature, often chosen for their melodic, feminine sound.
