Italian pronunciation:Eyh-Lee-Zah-Beyht-Tah"E" nears the pronunciation of "Hey" (when the "H" is excluded). Stress your "I" to "EE" for "Li." When an "S" is found sandwiched between two vowels it automatically makes a "Z." "A" is as always found in "Father." "E" equals, again, "Eyh." Be careful as to speak clearly both "TT"s, which you will find most easily accomplished by placing a bit of extra emphasis on the letter before ("E"), and continuing through until both "TT"s have finished. Round off with another "A", "Father." [noted -ed]

I quite like this name. I think that it's a more exotic name for those who feel "Elizabeth" is too common or plain (I don't share that feeling, but some do) and want a more unique, exotic version. A nice nickname is Betta.
