feminine · English origin
Libbie is an English diminutive of Elizabeth, which traces back through Latin and Greek Elisavet to the Hebrew name Elisheba, meaning something along the lines of my God is an oath or my God is abundance. The name gained widespread use in the English-speaking world as an affectionate short form alongside similar pet forms such as Libby, Liz, and Bess. Libbie Custer, wife of the American general George Armstrong Custer, is among the notable historical bearers of this particular spelling.
