Lizabeth Origin and Meaning

The name Lizabeth is a girl's name.

Lizabeth is a shortened form of Elizabeth, carrying the same Hebrew heritage meaning 'God is my oath' or 'pledged to God.' This streamlined version eliminates the initial 'E' while maintaining the essence of the classic name. Lizabeth offers a slightly less formal alternative to Elizabeth while being more complete than the nickname Liz. Though not as widely used as the original form, Lizabeth enjoyed modest popularity in America during the mid-20th century, particularly in the 1940s and 50s. The name gained some recognition through actress Lizabeth Scott, a film noir star of that era. Lizabeth strikes a balance between familiarity and distinctiveness, providing a subtly unique option for parents who appreciate the traditional name Elizabeth but desire something slightly less common.
