Comments and insights on the name Liesel: | Edit

An old German and Austrian form of the name Elizabeth. Meanings: "God is my vow", "God of plenty" and "God is my satisfaction" For me in my family, this being our 9th baby and 7th girl, Leisel was the perfect choice. Most people seem to love it. I know we do.
