Liza is also commonly used in the country of Georgia, where it is a short form of ელისაბედ (Elisabed). Yes, the Georgians use ლიზა (Liza) instead of ლისა (Lisa), which is what you would expect based on the spelling of Elisabed. For some reason, all Georgian abbreviations and diminutives derived from Elisabed have a -z- instead of an -s-. [noted -ed]

You might also want to perform an exact search on Google with only the keywords "Liza" + "ge.linkedin", which will turn up all the Georgian bearers that have allowed for their LinkedIn account to be available on Google. The same principle applies to Facebook, although I would pair the name with that of a major Georgian city on there (such as "Tbilisi" or "Batumi"), lest the search results get too cluttered with non-Georgian bearers.
