Babet is French in Origin.
Babet is a French and Dutch diminutive of Elisabeth/Élisabeth, built on the -bet element of the name and also found regionally in southern France. From its Hebrew root, Elisheva (El "God" + shava "oath"), it carries the meaning "God is my oath" or "pledged to God." In practice it overlaps with Babette; although some link Babette to Barbara, French usage more often ties Babet/Babeth to Elisabeth.
Attested in 17th to 19th century parish registers in Flanders and southern France, Babet began as an affectionate household name that sometimes became official. It enjoys modest revival in the Low Countries and among Francophone families seeking a crisp vintage choice. Variants and close relatives include Babette, Babeth, Babetje (Dutch), Bette, Betty, Lisbet, Liesbet/Liesbeth. The form also occurs as a surname and, rarely, a male nickname in French literature; today it is primarily feminine.
