Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

Erzsébet je maďarská podoba mena Alžbeta. Prostredníctvom gréckeho Elisábet a latinského Elisabeth sa odvodzuje od hebrejského mena Elíšéva (אֱלִישֶׁבַע), ktoré sa tradične vykladá ako „môj Boh je prísaha“ alebo „Boh je moja prísaha“; jeho druhá zložka súvisí s hebrejskými výrazmi pre prísahu a číslo sedem.
