What is the meaning of the name lisbeth ?

The baby name lisbeth is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced LIZ-beth (IPA: /ˈlɪzbɛθ/).

lisbeth is Hebrew in Origin.

Lisbeth is a Scandinavian and German short form of Elisabeth, ultimately from the Hebrew Elisheva, built from El “God” and sheva “oath,” yielding the sense “my God is an oath,” often interpreted as “pledged to God.” In modern usage it reads crisp and vintage at once. Common pronunciations include LEES-bet in Germanic and Nordic contexts and LISS-beth or LIZ-beth among English speakers.

Used in Nordic parish records from the 18th century and widely in Germany and the Low Countries, Lisbeth peaked in Scandinavia mid-20th century and saw renewed international notice through Stieg Larsson’s heroine Lisbeth Salander. Close variants and regional forms include Lisbet, Lisebeth, Liesbeth (Dutch), Elsbeth (Swiss German), and Lizabeth (English). Related diminutives are Lise, Lisa, Lis, Lissy, and Beth; broader cognates include Elisabeth/Elizabeth, Isabel/Isobel, and Elspeth.
