Elyzabeth

Elyzabeth is an uncommon English spelling variant of Elizabeth, which derives ultimately from the Hebrew name Elisheba, composed of the elements el, meaning God, and sheva, meaning oath or perhaps seven. The name was borne in the Hebrew Bible by the wife of Aaron and later gained widespread use across Christian Europe through the New Testament figure Elizabeth, mother of John the Baptist. It became one of the most influential names in Western history, associated with royalty and saints alike. Other variants and cognates include Elisabeth, Elspeth, Elsa, Elise, Isabella, and Lisa.
