Elisabeth Rennhaf was born in 1598, in Bundenthal, Pirmasens, Palatinate, Bavaria, Germany as the daughter of Hans Rennhaf. She married Niclauss Cuntz on 5 March 1622, in Palatinate, Bavaria, Germany. They were the parents of at least 4 sons and 1 daughter. She died on 8 August 1658, in Palatinate, Bavaria, Germany, at the age of 60, and was buried in Kandel, Germersheim, Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany.
The spelling of Elizabeth used in the Authorized Version of the New Testament, and in most modern European languages. This was the name of the mother of John the Baptist (Luke 1:60). Etymologically, the name means ‘God is my oath’, and is therefore identical with Elisheba, the name of the wife of Aaron according to the genealogy at Exodus 6:23. The final element seems to have been altered by association with Hebrew shabbāth ‘Sabbath’.
