   • 1776 Biblia, Luuk.1:5:

     Herodeksen, Juudean kuninkaan, aikana oli pappi, Sakarias nimeltä, Abian vuorosta; ja hänen emäntänsä Aaronin tyttäristä, ja hänen nimensä Elisabet.

     There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judaea, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the course of Abia: and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elisabeth. (KJV Luke 1:5)

   • 1941 Helvi Hämäläinen, Säädyllinen murhenäytelmä, WSOY (2007), →ISBN, page 182:

     —Sinun ei pidä ajatella sitä, Elisabet, sanoi hän,—Elisabet sanassa oli vadelmatäytteisen karamellin maku—

Usage notes

• This form does not fit Finnish phonology well, and so it is rarely given it as a first name, though it is common enough as a middle name. The most common vernacular form is Liisa.
