Elisabete

Elisabete is a Portuguese 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. The name appears in the Hebrew Bible as the wife of Aaron, and its New Testament bearer, the mother of John the Baptist, helped spread the name widely throughout Christian Europe. It shares its ancestry with the Spanish Isabel, the Italian Elisabetta, and the English Elizabeth, among many other cognates across European languages.
