Elizabete

Elizabete is the Latvian form of Elizabeth, ultimately derived from the Hebrew name Elisheba, composed of the elements el, meaning God, and sheva, meaning oath or abundance, giving the overall sense of my God is an oath or my God is abundance. The name was borne by the biblical wife of Aaron in the Old Testament and gained widespread European use through Saint Elizabeth of Hungary, the venerated thirteenth-century noblewoman.
