Comments for the name Elisabeth

I think this is a very misspelled version of Elizabeth.

Elisabeth is not a misspelling of Elizabeth, it's the original spelling. Elizabeth only became the most popular spelling after Queen Elizabeth I took to the the throne of England.

I apologize for my previous input. I like this name, actually. This spelling is quite interesting. I'm just so used to Elizabeth, though. Lovely name, however!

This is a beautiful spelling used by many, including the European Queen Elisabeth of Belgium, wife of Prince Albert in the early 20th century.

I love the name Elisabeth! I like this spelling much better than Elizabeth. I plan to name my first daughter Elisabeth Amelie, possibly Elise as a nickname.

The only daughter of Crownprince Filip (Philip) and Crownprincess Mathilde of Belgium is called: Elisabeth.

I like this name because there are so many nicknames associated with it. My favorites are Betty and Elise.

Bettan is a nickname in Sweden, not used as nice pet name, more old fashioned and bad sounding.

Actress Elisabeth Shue spells it this way.

I respect this spelling of Elizabeth as a variant translation and as the French and German form. It's very pretty, and a little more unusual. I probably would just go with the normal form, Elizabeth, though.

I've also seen this name spelled with an accent in French: Élisabeth.

Perhaps the most notable Élisabeth was Princess Élisabeth Philippine Marie Hélène of France (1764-1794), known as "Madame Élisabeth". She was the younger sister of Louis XVI, Louis XVII, and Charles X. She was guillotined in the French Revolution, some say just because she was Louis XVI's sister.

Elisabeth Hasselbeck is on the panel of the TV show 'The View'.

Elisabeth Filarski-Hasselback, the 4th place winner of Survivor: Australian Outback and is currently hosting daytime show The View shares this name.

Elisabeth is my middle name, and I love it very much!

Empress Elisabeth (1837-1898)was a Bavarian princess who married Emperor Franz Joseph of Austria and became the ruler consort of Austria and the Queen consort of Hungary. Called "Sisi" from a young age, she was known for her influential fashion sense and pristine beauty. Though she was much-loved in Austria and celebrated in Hungary as a great sympathizer to the Hungarian cause, her life was marked by tragedy, including the unsolved murder of her son Prince Rudolf, and spent the last decades of her life wandering Europe aimlessly, until she was stabbed in the heart in a pointless act of violence by a deranged assasin in Geneva, Switzerland. A free yet tragic spirit who abhorred conventional court protocol, she has inspired filmmakers and theatre people alike and has undoubtedly become a 20th century icon, often compared to Princess Diana of England.

My name is Elsebeth and that's the Danish form of Elisabeth. I hate it because everybody thinks my name is Elisabeth, and even in Denmark it's not very common. My family calls me Ellie.

It's a lovely name. I know four people with this name, and one with Elisabet. They're all great. I don't know anyone with z-s though!

In Dutch it's pronounced ay-LEE-zah-bet.

This is my middle name. Growing up I HATED that my mother spelled it with the "s" rather than the "z". But now that I am grown I prefer it! I like the fact that it was the original spelling, that means a lot to me. I would also like to carry on the name and I will spell it Elisabeth, with the "s" (my kid will probably hate me for it! Meh!)

Famous bearer is Christian author Elisabeth Elliot.

Elisabeth Schwarzkopf (1915-2006), German Soprano.

I prefer this over Elizabeth.

I love this spelling of the name Elizabeth. I think it has a softer feel to it and reminds me of a flower. I plan to use this as the middle name of a daughter I may have.

I think this spelling is much nicer than Elizabeth. I prefer softer spellings and pronunciations of names. I pronounce this spelling Eh-liss-eh-beth, and the Elizabeth spelling Eh-liz-eh-beth.

I much prefer this spelling to the over-used 'Elizabeth', a 'z' in a name can sound a little harsh, whereas an 's' looks and sounds more dainty and gentle. Same as with xHOWTOSAVEALIFE, I would also pronounce it as it is written and not a 'z' sound. :S

Elisabeth Theresia Maria Helena is the princess of Belgium. She's the daughter of Crownprince Filip and Crownprincess Mathilde.

Hi! Just tell you that Elisabeth is used in Catalonia too. I have a friend called Elisabet with no H at the end! People called Elisabet like other people to say Beth, Bet or Eli. Thank you!

I prefer it pronounced eh-liss-u-beth.

My name is Elisabeth. I don't really like the name for myself, but I like it for others. Why don't I like it for myself? Because I don't feel like it matches me. It's a long name and many people write it wrong. I have seen people writing it with a z or with a t instead of th. I really don't like these troubles with my names. My friends call me Eli or Nia (the last name has nothing to do with Elisabeth though).

My daughter who will be three soon is called Elisabeth June. I chose this name because I so love Elizabeth but I wanted her name to be a little more special. I also have a sister named Elisa so it honours her too. Elisabeth is called Bessie because she seems much too little to be an Elisabeth yet! But when she's older she can use it if she ever outgrows Bess.

My name is Elisabeth Anne and I am named after my mother Elizabeth Anne. One must note that there are complications that come up regarding personal information since we are often mistaken for one another and there is no Jr. Or I/II like for male members. I do indeed LOVE the spelling since it is still old fashioned yet different. The nicknames given to me by family and friends have been Lisabeth, Lisbeth, and Lis (L-iss) which is said/sounds as just Liz.

A famous bearer is the actress Elisabeth Sladen (best known for playing Sarah Jane Smith on "Doctor Who").

A famous bearer is singer Elisabeth Erl, she was born at 25th May 1979 Straubing, Deutschland. 2002 winner from TV show "Deutschland sucht den Superstar" (German Idol).

It is pronounced EH-LEES-UH-BET. No "th" on the end. That totally destroys it. Pronounce it correctly!

To the person above me. What makes you think that is the way to pronounce it? If this names is spelled Elisabet then I agree it should be pronounced like that but when there's a "th" at the end it should be e-liz-uh-beth like it is spelled. I actually love the "th" sound at the end.

I love this name and the spelling of it. Elizabeth with a z feels a bit harsh so I like it better with an s. I plan to use this as a middle name for my first daughter. I love the great namesakes it has, Elizabeth from Pirates, Elizabeth from Pride and Prejudice, the Queen of England and it's also the middle name of my favourite actress: Kate Winslet.

Elisabeth Risdon was an English actress who appeared in many American movies. (She was born Elizabeth Evans.)

Elisabeth Welch, American-born singer and actress who appeared in many British movies. (See her as Beulah in "Dead of Night.") Lived to the age of 99.

This is my middle name and it's not very common which is a positive and I also think it's a pretty name. I would recommend this name to my friends.

Elisabeth is a name for an old hag. It seems like I have to beg my mom to change my name. I hate it so much, like I want to hold it by its legs and throw it out the window, lol.

My middle name is Elizabeth. I have always hated it with a passion. Now that I'm older, I still despise it as my middle name, but it isn't bad as someone else's name. I have a friend that calls me Eliza Beth. Yuck, lol. I like Elliebeth, it is cute though.

Elisabeth Middelhauve, or Lisa, as she goes by, is the former lead singer of the Gothic Metal band Xandria, one of my favorite bands. I've always hated the name Elizabeth, any way it's spelled. Just an ugly name, in my opinion.

Elisabeth should not be pronounced with a z sound, it needs the s like it is spelled, it is prettier and I really get upset when my name gets confused from the more common Elizabeth.

I really prefer this to Elizabeth. It just looks softer and more feminine, I don't like the z in Elizabeth.

I really like this as a middle name, I think it's an interesting twist on the way too common Elizabeth. My middle name is Victoria so I think it would be cool to keep the "royal" sounding names going.

I really like this name. It's a variant of Elizabeth, and not quite as overused. It is beautiful, and I think is much softer than Elizabeth. It's a simply amazing name.

Elisabeth Schwarzikopf -great German soprano.

I love the spelling, it looks so much softer than the "z" variant.

This is what I'm changing my middle name to! I think it's beautiful and sophisticated, and I much prefer this spelling to Elizabeth-this one sounds much softer, and it's less common. My mom says she might have chosen this for my middle name had my dad not chosen Kelly - yuck! :(

This is one of my names - the one I'm proud of, but never called by. Good nicknames for a girl might be Ellie or Lissy; for an older person, maybe Beth.

Here's something interesting, if you're a Christian and like etymology. In Hebrew, "beth" means "house" and "El" means "God". "El is a Beth" - God is a house, a real home.

But if you like etymology too much, that *won't* sound good because it's fake.
