In fact, the Hebrew for Elizabeth is Elisheva, and the Hebrew for Judith is Yehudit. :)

You can go here to find others: http://www.behindthename.com/nmc/jew.html and http://www.behindthename.com/nmc/bibl.html (if you’re Jewish, be careful not to chose a name with Christian or pagan connotations: Shimon is good, Simeon isn’t, and isn’t Hebrew anyway)

About the pronounciation:
“i” = y, not “eye” or a long “ee”
“Ch“ = “kh“ (like hiJo, aCHtung…)
“E” = like in „stEAk“, never „fAde“ or „dAY“ (no „ee“ sound after it), and „e“ is never „uh”, “ee”…
“eth”, “ith” are always prononced "et", "it", not like in "the" or "thin".
