Eliza is also used in Poland. It's definitely a rare-ish name, but certainly not unheard of. I believe that in the past, this name was only used as one of many diminutives of Elżbieta, slightly more extravagant than the homey Ela or Elżunia, which probably came here through either Germany or England. Think famous Polish positivist writer Eliza Orzeszkowa whose birth name was Elżbieta and whose mother called her Eliza.
Eliza became more popular as a standalone name in 1970's, it was never super popular but its popularity peaked around that time and all the Polish Elizas I know personally are born in the 70's.
Eliza's Polish name day is 14 June or 17 August, though she could also celebrate her name day on one of many name days of Elizabeth.
Nicknames include: Elizka, Ela, Elka, Liza, Liska, Elza etc.
Last year (2022) Eliza was at #51 among names given to baby girls, 756 babies were named Eliza. It was at #92 in the middle names ranking, with 121 baby girls who have been given Eliza as their middle name. Overall, as of January of this year, Eliza has been the 126th most common first name among Polish women, with 27710 bearers, and the 111th most common middle name with 9882 bearers.

This name is also used in the country of Georgia, where it is a short form of ელისაბედ (Elisabed). Yes, the Georgians use ელიზა (Eliza) instead of ელისა (Elisa), 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 can also tell how much less popular Elisa is than Eliza by performing a simple exact Google search: searching for only "ელისა" yields 25,500 results, whereas searching for "ელიზა" yields 69,100 results.
Similarly, searching for "Elisa" + "ge.linkedin" gives us 520 results on Google, whilst searching for "Eliza" + "ge.linkedin" provides us with 399 results. Yes, the former has more results, but none of them are Georgian - the latter does have plentiful Georgians!
Finally, Facebook is also worth checking out, since it is by far the biggest social media platform in existence. But when searching on there, I recommend pairing each name with that of a major Georgian city (such as "Tbilisi" or "Batumi"), lest the search results get too cluttered with non-Georgian bearers.
