Elisheba is Hebrew in Origin.
Elisheba (Hebrew אֱלִישֶׁבַע, pronounced eh-lee-SHEH-vah) is a theophoric Hebrew name meaning “my God is an oath” or “God is my oath,” from ʾEl (God) + shevuʿah (oath). Some scholars also note a secondary resonance with shevaʿ (“seven”), the number of completeness in Semitic tradition.
In the Hebrew Bible, Elisheba is the daughter of Amminadab and wife of Aaron, anchoring the name in Israel’s priestly lineage. Through the Septuagint and Vulgate (Elisábet/Elisabeth), it yielded Elizabeth, which spread across Europe and English-speaking lands via saints and queens. Variants and related forms include Elisheva (modern Israeli), Elisabeth, Elizabeth, Elsbeth, Lisbeth, Liesel, Élise, Eliza, Elsa, Else, Ilsa, and Isabel/Isabella. Possible nicknames span Sheva, Eli, Lishi, Liz, Liza, Lisa, Beth, Bess, and Betsy. The exact form Elisheba remains uncommon in English but appeals to parents seeking an authentic Hebrew biblical name with deep historical continuity.
