Meaning & Origin
a female given name from Hebrew, equivalent to English Elizabeth
Elisabetta is a girl's baby name of Hebrew origin, the Italian form of Elizabeth, from the Hebrew Elisheba, meaning 'my God is an oath' or 'my God is abundance' — the quintessentially Italian form of the most universally distributed women's name in the Christian world.
With over 355 recorded births, Elisabetta is the Italian form of Elizabeth — unmistakably Italian in its flowing six-syllable sound. It carries the same theological depth as all forms of Elizabeth while adding the musical warmth of the Italian language. The name is borne by Elisabetta Sirani (1638–1665), the Italian Baroque painter who was one of the most accomplished female artists of her era, and numerous Italian saints.
