There is an s in the word lisp because it was derived from the old English word wlyspian. Unfortunately, whether people with a severe lisp might have trouble pronouncing the word wasn't taken into consideration.

How did Shakespeare say have?
Have. As in "I have of late, but wherefore I know not" (Hamlet, 2,2) or "Have you no modesty, no maiden shame?" (Midsummer Night's Dream 3,2) or "and all their yesterdays have lighted fools the way to dusty death." (Macbeth 5,5). It is believed that he would have pronounced the word with a broad vowel. Imagine how Long John Silver would say it. If you are thinking about the word "hath", it means "has". Just imagine that they spoke with a lisp when they said "has".

The addition of the 's' in the word "lisp" is an example of ironical humor, as it creates a paradox for those with a lisp. It is not clear who originally decided to spell it this way, but it is a linguistic oddity that highlights the complexity and uniqueness of language.
