The name origin of this commune is not well known. One hypothesis is that Lisses is coming from the Latin Licia villa, as the initial village developed around the Lisses estate. Another hypothesis is that Lisses has German origins: Listja, meaning barrier. This commune was created in 1793 under its current name.
