Lizzio, Lizzo. The surname Elisabetta is naturally the surname of the personal name Elisabetta, which is of Jewish origin and is composed of El (ohîm) = God and sheba = oath, with the sense therefore of 'God is oath'. Some other scholars mean sheba instead as 'seven', perfect number, and then the meaning would be 'God is perfection'.
