Elizabete

Elizabete is the Latvian and Portuguese 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 later gained widespread Christian veneration through Saint Elizabeth, mother of John the Baptist. Its popularity across Europe was further reinforced by numerous queens and saints bearing the name. Related forms include Elisabeth, Elizabeth, Elżbieta, and Elisabete.
