    Elizabeth

    From Elisabet, the Greek form of the Hebrew name Elisheba meaning "my God is an oath" or perhaps "my God is abundance". In the New Testament this is the name of the mother of John the Baptist. It was also borne by the 12th-century Saint Elizabeth, a daughter of King Andrew II of Hungary who became a Franciscan nun and lived in poverty. It was also the name of a ruling queen of England and an empress of Russia. Famous modern bearers include the British queen Elizabeth II and actress Elizabeth Taylor.

    Boring HUH?

    Mama said it meant "gods gift" from the name book she looked at when she named me. But I know I proved that wrong. FMZ's link, which I think is a really cool link thanks FMZ.

    The new link ranked my name 124th. in popularity the year I was born and in 2004, 859th.

    This name was used by Lyman Frank Baum for the central character in his fantasy novel 'The Wizard of Oz' Which people have a field day with since I live in 'Tornado Alley',
