Help[Facts] Re: Jews & Elizabeth
in reply to a message by ClaudiaS
Elisabet is the form used in the Greek translation of the Torah, the Septuagint. It may not be exactly the same name as Elisheva, but it's still a Jewish name with probably a similar meaning. I think you'll find plenty of other Jewish names found in the New Testament that remained popular, as Jewish names, without reference to the Gospels.
