Liza
Translingual
Etymology
LLISA in Catalan (also Mújol). In Portuguese and old Castilian Spanish, LIÇA. In Italian LECCIA/LIZZA. In Venetian, LISSA. In Serbo-Croatian LÌCA.
Supposing that the old primitive form were ALICIA, it might be related to the Latin Word ALLEC (sort of big sardine, hering). Cf. Diccionari Etimològic i Complementari de la Llengua Catalana, p. 221-222-223, Curial Edicions Catalanes, Barcelona 1985. In Latin, Mugil or Mugilis. Mújol in Spanish (but also Lisa, Liza). Cf. Diccionario de Uso del Español María Moliner, Ed. Gredos, Madrid 1984).
