History & Origin
Elizebeth is a spelling variant of Elizabeth, from the Hebrew Elisheva borne by the mother of John the Baptist and countless queens and saints since. The variant swaps the a for an e, matching the reduced middle vowel most speakers use, and appears throughout early American records beside the standard form.
This spelling crested in the late 1920s and has trickled along at low levels ever since, even as Elizabeth itself has stayed a perennial favorite. The variant reads as an old-fashioned respelling rather than a revival in its own right; parents drawn to the name almost always choose the classic spelling.
