Chantal Tanet et Tristan Hordé, ''Dictionnaire des prénoms'', Larousse, Paris, 2009, p. 38 These names are derived from the Latin and Greek renderings of the Hebrew name based on both etymological and contextual evidence (the use of Isabel as a translation of the name of the mother of John the Baptist). The variant form originated through the loss of the first syllable and the replacement of final with (as does not appear word-finally in standard Spanish).Hanks, Patrick und Flavia Hodges. ''Oxford Dictionary of First Names''. Oxford University Press, 1996, p.166. Elisabeth was understood in Spain as a name with the masculine definite article ''el'' "the", that is to say ''*El Isabeth'', from it, the short form ''*Isabeth'' where the final ''-el'' was substituted to ''-eth'', both for aesthetical reasons or feminization, or the entire syllable ''-bel'' was substituted to ''-beth'', by analogy with ''bella'' "pretty, beautiful".
