Meaning & origin
Elizabet is a distinctive spelling of a classic name, first recorded in the United States in 1953. Though its peak usage occurred in 1989, it remains an uncommon variant, currently ranked 11,932 as of 2025. The name appears only once per 229,610 female births, making it a rare choice. Its consistent but low usage has seen a slight rise in recent years, particularly since 2018. Elizabet has not appeared among the top state-level rankings in any state, underscoring its nationwide rarity. This spelling is most frequently associated with Scandinavian and Hungarian traditions, offering a subtle alternative to the widely popular Elizabeth.
Elizabet is a Scandinavian and Hungarian spelling variant of Elizabeth, which derives from the Hebrew name Elisheva, meaning "my God is an oath" or "God is my oath." The name has been borne by numerous Christian saints and queens throughout Europe, though this particular spelling is most common in Nordic and Central European contexts.
