Elisaveta

Elisaveta Origin and Meaning

The name Elisaveta is a girl's name.

Elisaveta is the Slavic form of Elizabeth, ultimately derived from the Hebrew Elisheva, meaning 'God is my oath' or 'God is abundance.' This elegant variation is particularly common in Bulgarian, Russian, and other Eastern European cultures, offering a sophisticated alternative to the more familiar Elizabeth. Elisaveta carries the regal associations of its root name—shared by queens and empresses throughout history—while introducing a distinctive Slavic flair. The name's flowing syllables create a musical quality when spoken, and its full form provides options for numerous diminutives and nicknames. While less common in English-speaking countries, Elisaveta offers multicultural appeal for families with Eastern European heritage or those seeking a distinctive yet historically rich name with international recognition.
