Elisheva is Hebrew in Origin.
Elisheva is a Hebrew feminine name (אלישבע) composed of El, “God,” and sheva, a Semitic root meaning “oath” (and linked to the number seven), yielding the sense “God is my oath” or “my God is an oath.” In the Hebrew Bible, Elisheva appears in Exodus as the wife of Aaron and mother of the priestly line, anchoring the name in Israelite religious heritage.
Through Greek and Latin transmission, Elisheva became Elisabeth, which later produced Elizabeth in English and its wide family: Eliza, Elise, Elisa, Elsie, Elspeth, Beth, Betsy, Bess, Lise, Lisbeth, and, via medieval forms, Isabel, Isabella. Other variants include Yelizaveta (Russian), Elisaveta (Slavic/Balkan), and transliterated Elisheba. Today Elisheva remains common in Israel and Jewish communities worldwide, while Elizabeth forms dominate in broader usage.
