Liset is a feminine given name of Basque origin. It means "lily" in the Basque language. The lily is a flower that symbolizes purity and beauty in many cultures.
The name Liset has been used for centuries in the Basque Country, which is located in northern Spain and southwestern France. It was often given to girls born into families who valued tradition and cultural heritage.
In the past, the name Liset was sometimes spelled with an "h" at the end, making it "Liseth." This variant is still used today, particularly in some Spanish-speaking countries.
One notable figure named Liset is Liset Alea, a Cuban actress known for her role in the film "Fresa y Chocolate" (Strawberry and Chocolate). She was born Liset Hernández Pérez on April 21, 1966, in Havana, Cuba.
The name Liset has been given to a total of 1,021 babies born in the United States between 1967 and 2013, according to the statistics provided. The popularity of the name varied over time, with peaks occurring in certain years.
In the early years, there were fewer than 10 births each year: 6 in 1967, 10 in 1969, 7 in 1971 and again in 1973. The number of births then increased significantly in 1977 with 26 newborns named Liset.
