[Facts] Re: Meaning of Elizabeth
in reply to a message by Cerrha
As a native speaker I can tell.
El - God
Eli - God to me (translated literally) or my God
Sheva - is indeed seven
However, please remember hebrew words can only be written phonetically with our alphabet.
Beth - is 100% house. In fact it is the second letter of the alphabet (hebrew) and the alphabet is based originally on pictograms. Beth is literally the shape of a house.
As for za, I wonder as it is the f. for - this is.
So all together literally
God to me this is my house.
