Meaning and history

Carlisa is a modern feminine name probably formed by blending Carla with Lisa. Carla is the feminine of Carl, from a Germanic word meaning “man” or “free man,” while Lisa is a short form of Elizabeth, from Hebrew Elisheva, meaning “my God is an oath.” Because the blend is recent, combining those meanings into one literal phrase would be artificial. Family usage may also reflect other formations. Reliable prominent exact-name bearers are limited.
