Elizabeth is derived from the Hebrew name Elisheba, which means "my God is an oath." It was brought to England by the Normans and became a popular royal name due to its usage by several queens of England, most notably Elizabeth I, who ruled from 1558 to 1603. Over time, it has evolved into one of the most enduring and widely-used names in English-speaking countries.
"The name Elezabeth was quite popular around the early to mid-20th century, with notable spikes in usage in 1909, 1920, and 1927. However, it seems to have declined by 1962, as the total births over this period sum up to only 21."
