What do you think of this name? ?

What do you think about the name Eliza? Pronounced “Eh-ly-za”? It isn’t very common nowadays and is a derivative of the name Elizabeth. Does it sound like an old name or no? How do you imagine someone with this name?

    I love this name. It reminds me of Audrey Hepburn and how beautiful she was.

    Just some notes: In English, we say EE-LIE-ZAH, in Hebrew the name is ALE-EE-ZAH, though really the ZAH should be SHUA. Eliza/Elise/Elisha/Elishua have the same meaning: God is Savior. The prophet who came after Elijah (Eliyah) was Elisha (Elishua). Eliyah is God is Yah

    El (God) i (is) Shua (Saving/Savior/Salvation) Beit/Beth (house)

    Eliza is a pretty name.  It's great on it's own or as a nickname for Elizabeth.  I consider it a classic which make is old fashioned, too.  I only imagine people I know with the name and don't think the name itself  has a physical description.

    I love Eliza, it's one of my favourite names. It has a lovely, quaint, Victorian feel, yet it doesn't feel heavy or dated because it's similar to a lot of popular names, like Elise and Ella, but with added elegance and vintage style.
