When Elisabeth Betschelin was born on 10 June 1672, in Plochingen, Eßlingen, Württemberg, Germany, her father, Sebastian Betschelin, was 43 and her mother, Agnes Pauli, was 33. She died on 6 September 1672, at the age of 0, and was buried in Plochingen, Eßlingen, Württemberg, 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’.
