Belinha

Belinha is a Portuguese feminine given name functioning as a diminutive pet form, most commonly derived from Isabel, the Portuguese and Spanish form of Elizabeth, itself tracing back through Latin and Greek to the Hebrew name Elisheba, meaning something along the lines of my God is an oath or my God is abundance. The diminutive suffix -inha is characteristic of Portuguese affectionate or familiar forms, giving the name a warm, informal register. It may also serve as a pet form of other names ending in -bel, such as Anabel or Maribel. Isabel, Bela, and Isa are among the related forms found across the Iberian world.
