What is the meaning of the name Elisabetha ?

The baby name Elisabetha is a Female name , 5 syllables long and is pronounced /ˌɛlɪzəˈbɛθə/ (eh-LIZ-ə-BETH-ə).

Elisabetha is Hebrew in Origin.

Elisabetha is the Latinized and Germanic form of Elisabeth, ultimately from Hebrew Elisheva, interpreted as “my God is an oath” or “God is abundance.” It entered Europe via the Greek biblical Elisabet (Ἐλισάβετ) and ecclesiastical Latin Elisabeth/Elisabetha, then settled in German-speaking usage as a formal register form. The name spread widely in Christian Europe through the veneration of Saint Elizabeth, mother of John the Baptist, and especially Saint Elisabeth of Hungary.

From the 16th to 19th centuries Elisabetha appears frequently in parish registers in the Holy Roman Empire, the Low Countries, and Scandinavia; today it reads as archaic or ceremonial alongside standard Elisabeth/Elizabeth. International variants include Elizabeth (English), Elisabeth (German/Scandinavian/Dutch), Elisabet (Swedish/Catalan), Elisabetta (Italian), Elżbieta (Polish), Elizaveta (Russian), Isabel (Spanish/Portuguese), and Isabelle (French). Diminutives and short forms span Eliza, Elisa, Lisa, Else/Ilse, Elsa, Liesel/Liesl, Lisbeth, Beth, Bette, Betty, and Betsy.
