Betuska is Slavic in Origin.
Betuska is a Slavic diminutive rooted in Czech and Slovak naming traditions, most commonly written with diacritics as Bětuška (Czech) or Betuška (Slovak). It derives from Alžběta/Alžbeta - the local forms of Elizabeth - and carries the biblical meaning associated with Hebrew Elisheva: “God is my oath.” The -uška ending is a classic affectionate suffix in Czech and Slovak, so Betuska has long functioned as a cozy pet name within families and in folk narratives; it appears in 19th–20th‑century Czech literature and children’s tales. While rarely registered as a formal given name, contemporary usage sometimes elevates it to standalone status.
Variants and related forms include Bětuška, Betuška, Bětka, Betka, Běta, and Beti; the underlying full names are Alžběta (Czech) and Alžbeta (Slovak), cognate with Elizabeth/Elisabeth, Elżbieta (Polish), and Erzsébet (Hungarian). Note that Beata/Beáta (“blessed”) is a distinct name occasionally confused with Betuska.
