Elysabeth

Elysabeth is a feminine variant of Elisabeth, which ultimately derives from the Hebrew name Elisheba, meaning "God is my oath" or "God is abundance". This elegant spelling variation adds a classical touch to the more common Elizabeth. While less frequently used than the standard spelling, Elysabeth offers the same versatile nickname options including Ellie, Liz, Beth, and Lily. The 'y' instead of 'i' gives the name a distinctive appearance while maintaining its historical gravitas. Elysabeth has remained relatively uncommon in English-speaking countries, making it an option for parents seeking a traditional name with a unique spelling that still feels familiar and pronounceable.

Pronounced el-ee-ZA-beth.
