Subject: A Note on the Jewish Name LISA

Since names are being discussed (V28n47) I thought I might mention the
following incident from a few years ago: Someone named Lisa told me that
she saw in some Sefer that Lisa meant Faith---she asked me why.

I thought about it during my Shabbath Afternoon walk and decided that
	Lisa	= ELiShah Minus the "E"
	Elishah	= God (Kayl) will save (Yshah)
This could explain the connection Lisa=Faith.

Has anyone heard anything about this (For or against).
