Meaning & History
Modern Urdu name, apparently invented, which became popular in Pakistan in the 1980s and was commonly used among Pakistanis in the diaspora. It might be formed from Arabic عليّ (ʿalīy) "high, exalted" and shobh allegedly meaning "appearance, likeness". Alternatively it may be derived from Elisheba, but traditionally Elizabeth was Ilshaba or Ilshabet in Urdu.
