Bettie

Bettie is an English given name functioning as a diminutive or pet form of Elizabeth, which itself derives from the Hebrew name Elisheba, meaning something along the lines of my God is an oath or my God is abundance. The name gained widespread use in English-speaking countries during the 19th and early 20th centuries, carried by figures such as the American pin-up model Bettie Page, who gave the name particular cultural visibility. Related forms include Betty, Bette, Beth, and Betsy, all of which trace back through the same medieval Latin and Greek transmission of the Hebrew original.
