Origin and meaning

favor, grace (Hebrew) combined with God is an oath (Hebrew)

Anna Liza is a compound female name formed from Anna and Liza. Both elements ultimately derive from Hebrew Biblical names that entered Philippine naming practices via Spanish and later American English naming customs. It was exceptionally popular in the Philippines throughout the 1970s and 1980s.

Anna Liza is a compound given name merging Anna (from Hebrew Channah, meaning 'grace' or 'favor') and Liza (a short form of Elizabeth, meaning 'my God is an oath'). In the Philippines, it represents the widespread mid-to-late 20th-century trend of combining traditional Western and Biblical names into a single formal first name.
