Elizbeth
Meaning of Elizbeth
Tracing its roots to the Hebrew Elisheba, Elizbeth emerges as a spirited variant of the venerable Elizabeth, its core meaning—“God is my oath”—intact even as it sheds a single letter in a gesture of quiet defiance. English speakers, pronouncing it with a poised uh-LIZ-beth (/əˈlɪz.bəθ/), often conjure images of regal dignity—echoes of queens and literary heroines—while appreciating its uncommon flourish in contemporary registries. In the United States, Elizbeth has maintained a discreet presence, with fewer than ten newborns per year bestowing the name’s blend of tradition and individuality; in 2021, eight girls bore it, placing the name at number 939. This rarity imparts a subtle charm—spare from the inevitable “Which Elizabeth?” at school roll call—allowing each bearer to carry centuries of heritage with a modern twist.
