Yelisabetta

US Popularity Rank: None

Origin: Russian

Meaning: God is my oath

The Russian form of Elisabeth, lyrical Yelisabetta originates in Greek and Hebrew and is steeped in unwavering faith. Meaning “God is my oath,” Yelisabetta ultimately derives from Elisheva, famously borne by the mother of John the Baptist. Yet another evolution of timeless Elisheva, Yelisabetta’s graceful rhythm and pleasant “a” ending make it a charming name rich in piety.
