Elsbeth

Elsbeth is a German and Swiss German contracted form of Elisabeth, itself derived from the Hebrew name Elisheba, composed of the elements el, meaning God, and sheva, meaning either oath or abundance, giving the sense of my God is an oath or my God is abundance. The name was borne by several medieval European noblewomen and saints, contributing to its wide adoption across German-speaking regions. Related forms include Elizabeth, Elspeth, Elise, and Lieselotte.
