Never thought about it, but I should have called my daughter Liège!
Liège isn’t given as a name. I’ve never ever heard about anyone being called that, in Belgium or anywhere else
Liège isn’t a given name.
The etymology of Liège is disputed. A number of different theories have been proposed – Latin and Celtic are the more common theories, but there are other legends. [Source.](https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Étymologie_de_Liège)
But in everyday speech Liège just means that city, it doesn’t have a specific meaning itself.
Never heard about using Liege as a first name. BTW in Dutch it’s Luik and in German Lüttich
Not sure if it’s related, but the word “liege” does exist in English, and has nothing to do with the Burning City. It’s an older word for “lord”
