Lisa is the same in English and Italian. In Italian, the feminine name historically serves as an affectionate diminutive for Elisa -- whose origins possibly go back to the Greek ελίσσω (elìsso, "to ring around") -- and Elisabetta -- whose origins go back to אֱלִישֶׁבַע (Elisheva, "God is my oath"). The pronunciation will be "LEE-za" for the nickname and "ey-LEE-za" and "ey-LEE-za-BET-ta" for the forenames in Italian.
