The name Alžběta is the Czech form of Elizabeth, ultimately derived from the Hebrew name Elisheba, meaning something along the lines of "my God is an oath" or "my God is abundance." It entered Czech through the Latin Elisabetha and has been widely used in Bohemia and Moravia for centuries, borne by several figures in Czech history and legend. Alžběta Přemyslovna, a medieval Bohemian princess, is among its notable historical bearers. Related forms include the Slovak Alžbeta, the Hungarian Erzsébet, and the broader European variants Elisabeth and Elizabeth.
