Elizbeth

Elizabeth is a classic choice that most would assume was feminine, however, it has been appearing in the stats for boys since the records began. Its peak was back in 1989 when 140 boys were called Elizabeth, while as recently as 2004, it was given to 63. In the latest count, five boys were given the name.

Perhaps it was being used as an honor name. Perhaps parents saw it as a very unexpected root to Eli?

Pronounced i-LIZ-beth.

As of October 2026, Elizbeth ranked #15570 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #841 in 1882.
