Also a Dutch variant of Elisabeth: https://nvb.meertens.knaw.nl/naam/is/Elizabeth
Last year (2022), 25 baby girls in Poland were given the name Elizabeth. 20 others received it as their middle name. As of January this year, there have been 1189 women in Poland with the first name Elizabeth and additional 2029 bearing it as their middle name.
I think Tibby, Tabby, Letty, Lettie and Zibby would be interesting nicknames for Elizabeth.
Last year (2020) 16 baby girls in Poland were given the name Elizabeth as a first name. 15 girls got it as a middle. In January of this year, 860 women in the whole population had this name as their first name and 1698 women bore it as middle name.
I know an Elizabeth who goes by Beth.
Also used in Spanish.
@guasguendi is partially correct, Elizabeth is occasionally used in Spanish-speaking countries such as Chile and Mexico (check the popularity charts), but the usual Spanish form of this name is Elisabet. However, Elisabet is not as frequent as Isabel, Ysabel, and Isabela. The diminutive form of Elizabeth in Spanish is Eli.Spanish Pronunciation: ee-lee-sa-BEHT.
Last year (2019) 8 girls were given the name Elizabeth in Poland, and the name was #360 in the girls' first names' ranking. As a middle name, it was given to 15 baby girls, so the name was #217 in the girls' middle names' ranking.
Me too it really is a great name to have! I learned that from experience!
In July 2017, there were 684 women in Poland named Elizabeth.
The standard Polish form of ELizabeth is Elżbieta, however Elizabeth also gains attention from parents, and as a result, last year (2018), there were 11 Elizabeths born in Poland, and the name was 294th in the ranking for girls.
In 2018, 20 is the most common age for an American (U.S.) Elizabeth who is registered female with the Social Security Administration. It is the 19th most common female first name for living U.S. citizens.
Elizabeth is a very pretty name. The problem is, a lot of people have it. I like uncommon names, and although this name is beautiful, it seems everyone has it today, especially as a middle name. My middle name is Elizabeth, too. And I know about 30 other girls in my school with this name as a first or middle name.
Elizabeth is one of the few long names that are often used in full by those who bear them (though of course it has many nicknames). (I am not saying that this should be the case. Whatever name you use to introduce yourself should be what you are called unless you say otherwise.)
Notice how some nicknames are "automatic," that is, people will bestow them without asking (which of course they should), whereas others, often older and bearing less resemblance to the "real" name, are not. A woman named Elizabeth is likely to be called Liz (or in some areas Beth) unless she objects, but she will not be called Betty unless she was assigned it at birth or chose it. Similarly with Margaret and Marge or Maggy ("automatic") vs. Peggy (not). Though any nickname can be given as a "real" name, this is more common with the non-automatic kind.
A lovely name with many nicknames, including Lizzy, Beth, Libby, Liz, Betty, etc. I've even heard of people calling themselves Izzy or ZaZa, with one Elizabeth's little sister calling her "Izabeth" - she still calls her that, even though she can pronounce Elizabeth now. This name can be modified to anyone's liking!
Elizabeth has been used a lot from the 1880's to today with the biggest usage in the 1880's.
There are MANY girls with the middle name Elizabeth. I personally know three but have met people who have also had it.
This name is a very common middle name for girls.
