Elisabet

Elisabet is the Scandinavian and Catalan form of Elizabeth, ultimately derived from the Hebrew name Elisheba, meaning "my God is an oath" or "my God is abundance." The name was borne in the Hebrew Bible by the wife of Aaron, and in the New Testament by Elizabeth, the mother of John the Baptist, which gave it widespread use throughout Christian Europe. Its popularity across medieval Europe produced numerous cognates and variants, including Elisabeth, Elżbieta, Elizabete, and Isabel.
