*Liza

"3" like letter in Cyrillic alphabet is "z" in Latin. You can hear it when pressing the sound button in here:

I know, I speak Russian. That's why I wrote ‶translate″ and used the most common writing of the name in English, rather than ‶transliterate″.

Funny, Lisa with "s" would be "c" Latin in Russian, which begs the question if the above mentioned error in the wiki is not actually a reverse translation error - hence why they say "Lika" in it, maybe they meant to translate "Lisa" from English to Russian and was like "eh, K or C is the same".
