Sobre el nombre Bethan

Bethan is a Welsh diminutive of Elizabeth, derived from the Hebrew name Elisheva, which means 'my God is an oath' or 'pledged to God'. While Elizabeth has roots in the Old Testament, the form Bethan developed specifically within the Welsh language as a distinct and independent given name.
