Elizebeth
Elizebeth Origin and Meaning
Elizebeth is an alternative spelling of Elizabeth, one of history's most enduring feminine names. The traditional Elizabeth derives from the Hebrew Elisheva, meaning 'God is my oath' or 'pledged to God.' This variant spelling with an 'e' instead of 'a' gives the classic name a slightly different visual appearance while maintaining its regal sound and historical connections. Throughout history, Elizabeth has been borne by queens, saints, and notable women across many fields. The Elizebeth spelling has historical precedent as well—Elizebeth Smith Friedman, a pioneering American cryptanalyst, bore this spelling. While less common than the traditional spelling, Elizebeth offers a subtle distinction for a name with deep historical roots and royal associations.
