What is the meaning of the name Elisebeth ?

The baby name Elisebeth is a Female name , 4 syllables long and is pronounced ih-LIZ-ə-beth,eh-LEEZ-beth.

Elisebeth is Hebrew in Origin.

Elisebeth is a modern hybrid of Elise and Elisabeth/Elizabeth, ultimately tracing to Hebrew Elisheva via Greek and Latin forms. The Hebrew elements el “God” and sheva “oath” yield the enduring meaning “my God is an oath,” often interpreted as “God’s promise.” The name carries the saintly and royal heritage of Elisabeths and Elizabeths - such as Saint Elisabeth of Hungary and Queen Elizabeth I - tempered by the lyrical lightness of Elise.

In use, Elisebeth remains a rare, contemporary spelling found mainly in English-speaking records and occasionally in Northern Europe where both Elise and Elisabeth are familiar. Close variants include Elizabeth, Elisabeth, Elisabet (Scandinavian/Catalan), Elizabeta (South Slavic), Elizaveta (Russian), and Elspeth or Elsbeth (Scottish/German). Nicknames span classic and modern: Elise, Lise, Elsie, Lissie, Lisa, Beth, Bess, Bette, Betsy, and Libby.
