Origin, Meaning, And History of Lilibeth
Lilibeth is a girl’s name speculated to be of English origin. It is a diminutive of the English name Elizabeth, derived from the Greek Elisabet, which in turn comes from the Hebrew name Elisheva, implying ‘my God is an oath.’
Etymologists believe that Lilibeth is also derived from the root name Lily, which is further derived from the Middle English name Lilie, and the Latin and Old English name Lilium. Alternatively, it could be a combination of two English names, Lily and Beth.

Legends say that Aaron was made the high priest by God, with his descendants forming the priesthood. The Greek name Elisabet appears in the Old Testament as the mother of John the Baptist. Historians suggest that it was Elisabet’s belief in the Almighty that earned her the blessing of a child.
