Does the name elizabeth translate into spanish or is it still elizabeth?

The equivalent in MODERN Spanish is "Elisabet"
(Just look at the name in ANY Spanish Bible translation of Luke 1:5)
You may also find the shortened form "Elisa".
"Isabel" may be a MEDIEVAL form of Elizabeth. But this is not necessarily correct. "Isabel" may, in fact, be from a different Hebrew name, the one we know as "Jezebel".

Incidentally, it's not quite right to call this "translating 'Elizabeth' into Spanish", since the name is not originally English, but Hebrew and came into English and Spanish separately.

I think on Spanish is the same, Elisa or Isabel are different names. I have friends named Elizabeth.

Isabel is the proper translation. But I know people who speak spanish named Elizabeth, but most people pronounce their names without the E like 'lisbeth.

Isabel. The first poster is wrong. For example, Queen Elizabeth is Reina Isabel in Spanish.
