Arabic form of Elisheva

Al-Isabeth doesn't really sound right... where does the th come from? Al is the article in Arabic... also, in classical Arabic, the vowel phoneme /e/ doesn't exist. Wathiik 16:21, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

Elisheva → Elisheba – This is the English wikipedia – Common name: after checking more than 50 English versions, all use the letter "b" – not one uses the letter "v". —Telpardec  TALK  08:50, 6 April 2013 (UTC)

• Support move. I didn't check 50, but I checked several, and "Elisheba" was the rendition every time. StAnselm (talk) 10:22, 6 April 2013 (UTC)
• Support http://jpsbible.com/exodus/6.htm this is just a mispelling. In ictu oculi (talk) 13:57, 6 April 2013 (UTC)

Move Request from “Elisheba” to “Elisheva”

Hello,

I would like to request a move from “Elisheba” to “Elisheva” because Elisheva (אֱלִישֶׁבַע) is the original Hebrew form of the name. This is supported by many of the citations used in the article, which primarily use Elisheva as the transliteration. While “Elisheba” appears in some translations, it is an alternative spelling and pronunciation. In the original Hebrew, the final letters (בַע) are pronounced “va,” not “ba.” It would only be “ba” if the name were spelled אֱלִישֶׁבַּע.

Thank you for considering this move request. TheSephardicPath (talk) 23:30, 17 February 2025 (UTC)

This is correct. Per Wikipedia:Article titles policy, this page shouldn't have been "renamed," aka moved 11 years ago to "Elisheba." As article title policy states: "Article titles are based on how reliable English-language sources refer to the article's subject."

Your request has had no objections within the allotted period, and the current title "does not follow Wikipedia's naming conventions, e.g., it is not a common name of the subject...", which is the first cause for a page to be moved. AmericanHistory.exe (talk) 23:32, 19 March 2025 (UTC)
