Beti is in Origin.
Beti is an international diminutive of Elizabeth, found especially in Welsh, South Slavic (Slovene, Croatian), and Romanian use. It draws its meaning from Hebrew Elisheva, usually rendered "God is my oath" or "pledged to God." In English contexts it parallels Betty, differing chiefly in spelling and often in a lighter, modern feel.
Records show Beti in Wales through the 19th to 20th centuries and continuing today, while in Central and Eastern Europe it functions as a familiar short form of Elizabeta/Elisabeta borne as an independent given name. In South Asian languages, beti simply means "daughter" (Hindi/Urdu), a tender address sometimes adopted as a name in the diaspora; pronunciation there is beh-TEE. Basque speakers recognize beti as the word "always," which has occasionally inspired usage despite not being a traditional Basque given name. Related variants include Betty, Betsy, Betti, Beth, Betje, and Elizabeta/Elisabeta.
