Why are these people saying this looks like a misspelled version of Elizabeth? It was the original spelling, so, technically, Elizabeth is the "misspelled version" of Elisabeth.
But I do understand that people (even I) are used to the spelling Elizabeth and find this version weird and difficult to accept.

The name Elisabeth (and its variations) is biblical (Elisabeth is the mother of John the Baptist). The Greek name Elisabeth derives from Hebrew. The particle "Eli" means "God", and altogether name means something like "God is plenty". This biblical context explains why the name is known in many linguistic variations across the world.

My name is Elisabeth. People spell it wrong a lot. I am named after my grandmother. Her mother didn't want to make her the usual spelling of Elizabeth. So she used an s. Now I'm happily named Elisabeth with an s. Except when people spell it wrong. Then I become angry. In school my name is always spelled wrong.

When I think of the name Elisabeth, I see a woman in her 30's-40's, medium height, rather slightly built, with long, a little bit wavy, light brown hair, very expressive dark green or dark blue or grey eyes. She has something majestic about herself, is very feminine, maybe not beautiful, but nice to look at and it is visible easily that she is a trustworthy and wise person, who has a lot to say on different things but also keeps a lot to herself. She is very intelligent, introverted, highly sensitive, analytical, loves writing, being out in nature, she is altruistic and devotes herself wholely to her loved ones, not thinking much about herself. She doesn't like to talk a lot, but she thinks a lot, overthinks perhaps should we say, and when she does talk, people usually find what she says very valuable. She is a loner, but is not shy around people, just rather reserved and doesn't trust easily. She treasures her freedom and privacy, as well as her independence, and respects the privacy of others.

I love Elisabeth. :) I don't have any particular preference as for the spelling, I like both Elizabeth and Elisabeth, but what's definitely true in my opinion too, as many of the commenters wrote before, is that Elisabeth is more feminine. It is subtler, more gentle, a bit more classy, though I can't say Elizabeth isn't. Elisabeth is just that little bit more, and I like the Scandinavian feel in it. As an avid Swedish learner, I pronounce it e-LEE-sah-bet, not like Elizabeth.

Elisabeth is a fine spelling. But I personally love the normal standard spelling Elizabeth slightly more because that looks more elegant. I don’t hate the “s”, I like Elisabeth, but I love Elizabeth. Elizabeth is a very nice name and both spellings are nice.

My Christened name is ELISABETH because my mother wanted to call me LISA, but in the Ukrainian Orthodox church, the name is YELYSAVETA. This is because of Ukrainian rules of orthography (just as in other languages) and those of translation, etc.
Since the name originates from biblical times, which is Elizabeth, then in Ukrainian, the E changes into a Ye (a rounded E with wavy tongue), the I becomes a Y (the reversed capital N, not an oo) and the Z becomes an S (looks like a C)... and that's why Elizabeth is equivalent to Elisabeth!
The spelling of any name always depends upon not only personal preference, but also the origin of the name and also of the person, or their heritage!
ELISABETH is as unique as the individual who bears it. Spelling it this way is not incorrect, and by doing so you show respect to that person, their family and their whole culture.
Proud to sign my name...
ELISABETH.

As my name is Elisabeth, I love it. I love how unique it is. Especially in America. The problem is that everyone spells it wrong. Including my Grandma and my own siblings at times. I still love it, and all the nicknames it comes with. My favorites are Lizzie, Liz, Izzy, some of my friends even call me Lizbug, my baby brother calls me Sizy, and some even call me Lizard. For some reason I don't like the nickname Beth, apologies to those who do.

Elisabeth is a very beautiful name, with a beautiful meaning. Like one commenter said (Credits to them by the way), I prefer softer name spellings as they just look more feminine and more beautiful, like Stefanie and Elisabeth. Elizabeth I feel just looks improper, like the z doesn’t fit but s does and I love it. Good name, choose this over Elizabeth.

I love Elisabeth. It's so classic, elegant, has plenty of nicknames to choose from, is delicate and unique. However I like Elizabeth too and I can't tell which one I like more. The thing I don't like though is when people pronounce Elisabeth like Elizabeth. I like it pronounced e-LEE-sah-bet the most and that's how I pronounce it, it's a Swedish pronunciation.

The German and Danish pronunciations are listed as e-LEE-zah-bet and e-LEE-sah-bet, respectively, but according to the Pronunciation Guide the third syllable should be -zu- or -su-, maybe -zuh- or -suh-. I wish this site used IPA.

This is how I spell my name, and my parents said they just wanted it to be different. They still pronounce Elisabeth the same way you would pronounce Elizabeth. Also, for example, my nickname is Lissie, but it's still pronounced as Lizzie. Quite honestly, I love it.

I think I'm liking this spelling variation more than Elizabeth, although I think both are gorgeous. It's just that Elizabeth is so overused (no surprise there, it's beautiful!) Elizabeth is currently #12 while Elisabeth is in the 600's. Plus, I'm not a fan of the nickname Liz. It's not that it's awful or something, just that it's also super popular.

This is my second given name. It is after my German-born paternal grandmother. After emigrating to the U.S. she changed the spelling to "Elizabeth;" most likely due to convenience. My parents used the German spelling on my birth certificate; not a big deal since almost all my documents only require the middle initial!

My middle name is Elisabeth and it's so much prettier and less harsh than Elizabeth. I am a quarter Dutch so that's where I get the spelling from and I like telling everyone that it's the original spelling of the name! The only problem is that my full name is 22 letters long but it doesn't really matter due to the fact I love my name. Some cute nicknames for Elisabeth could be Lissie, Lisa, Elisa, Isa, Beth, Bea for when they are younger and then when they are older they can be called by their full name. Another good thing about this name is that it's good for both old people and young people and everyone in between, so it's a win win situation as some names like Mia are suitable when they are young but aren't so when they grown up to become older. Sorry for rattling on so much, it's just I love writing!

We chose this as our daughter Genevieve's middle name. It's an absolutely beautiful name whether its spelled Elizabeth or Elisabeth; we just decided to spell it with an s to make it a little more unique, since Elizabeth is quite a common middle name. The s makes it softer in my opinion, but I have a feeling a lot of people will be spelling it wrong! It's easily correctable though, unlike with many of the 'creative' spellings of names today where people are changing multiple letters or just adding in completely new ones for no reason. If you love Elizabeth but are concerned about how common it is, Elisabeth is an equally gorgeous spelling that not many people use :-)

Elisabeth is the most classic name and it is so beautiful. I'd like to name a daughter Elisabeth. A plus to this spelling and pronunciation (Eel-liss-uh-beth) is that no one would call you Liz or Lizzie. Elisabeth is a wonderful name.

This is one of my names - the one I'm proud of, but never called by. Good nicknames for a girl might be Ellie or Lissy; for an older person, maybe Beth.
Here's something interesting, if you're a Christian and like etymology. In Hebrew, "beth" means "house" and "El" means "God". "El is a Beth" - God is a house, a real home.
But if you like etymology too much, that *won't* sound good because it's fake.

My daughter who will be three soon is called Elisabeth June. I chose this name because I so love Elizabeth but I wanted her name to be a little more special.

But when she's older she can use it if she ever outgrows Bess.

Though she was much-loved in Austria and celebrated in Hungary as a great sympathizer to the Hungarian cause, her life was marked by tragedy, including the unsolved murder of her son Prince Rudolf, and spent the last decades of her life wandering Europe aimlessly, until she was stabbed in the heart in a pointless act of violence by a deranged assasin in Geneva, Switzerland. A free yet tragic spirit who abhorred conventional court protocol, she has inspired filmmakers and theatre people alike and has undoubtedly become a 20th century icon, often compared to Princess Diana of England.

Elisabeth is my middle name, and I love it very much!

I've also seen this name spelled with an accent in French: Élisabeth.
Perhaps the most notable Élisabeth was Princess Élisabeth Philippine Marie Hélène of France (1764-1794), known as "Madame Élisabeth". She was the younger sister of Louis XVI, Louis XVII, and Charles X. She was guillotined in the French Revolution, some say just because she was Louis XVI's sister.

I respect this spelling of Elizabeth as a variant translation and as the French and German form. It's very pretty, and a little more unusual. I probably would just go with the normal form, Elizabeth, though.

Bettan is a nickname in Sweden, not used as nice pet name, more old fashioned and bad sounding.

I love the name Elisabeth! I like this spelling much better than Elizabeth. I plan to name my first daughter Elisabeth Amelie, possibly Elise as a nickname.

This is a beautiful spelling used by many, including the European Queen Elisabeth of Belgium, wife of Prince Albert in the early 20th century.

I think this is a very misspelled version of Elizabeth.

I apologize for my previous input. I like this name, actually. This spelling is quite interesting. I'm just so used to Elizabeth, though. Lovely name, however!

Elisabeth is not a misspelling of Elizabeth, it's the original spelling. Elizabeth only became the most popular spelling after Queen Elizabeth I took to the the throne of England.
