- 1776, The Holy Bible, Luke 1:5:

- —Sinun ei pidä ajatella sitä, Elisabet, sanoi hän,—Elisabet sanassa oli vadelmatäytteisen karamellin maku—
- —You should not think about it, Elisabet, he said. —The word Elisabet has a taste like that of raspberry sweets—
Usage notes
[edit]- This form does not fit Finnish phonology well, and so it is rarely given it as a first name, though it is common enough as a middle name. The most common vernacular form is Liisa.
