- In Korean, the 'L' and 'R' sounds are both represented by the letter ㄹ, so 리사 can be read as either 'Lisa' or 'Risa'.
- When addressing someone named 리사, Koreans will almost never use the name alone and will instead add suffixes like 씨 for politeness or 야 for close friends.
- While 리사 is a phonetic transcription of a Western name, some Koreans may assign specific Hanja characters to these syllables to give the name a traditional meaning.
