My God is an oath
Elizaveta is the Russian and Bulgarian form of Elizabeth. It ultimately derives from the Hebrew name Elisheva, signifying a solemn promise or oath made to God. While Elizabeth is a perennial classic in the West, this Slavic variation offers a more elaborate and rhythmic alternative.
