Origin
Meaning and history of Alyssabeth
The name Alyssabeth is a unique and intriguing blend of two distinct names – Alyssa and Elizabeth. Its origins can be traced back to the ancient Greek language, where the name Alyssa finds its roots in the word "alysso," meaning "to protect" or "to guard." This suggests that the name Alyssabeth may have been associated with a sense of security and guardianship.
The second part of the name, Elizabeth, has its origins in the Hebrew name Elisheva, which means "God is my oath" or "God is abundance." This biblical name has been popular throughout history, particularly among Christians, and has been borne by several notable figures, including Queen Elizabeth I of England (1533-1603) and Saint Elizabeth of Hungary (1207-1231).
Historically, the combined name Alyssabeth is relatively rare, with few recorded instances in ancient texts or historical records. However, there are a few notable individuals who have carried this unique name over the centuries.
One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Alyssabeth dates back to the late 16th century, when Alyssabeth Browne (1570-1630) became a prominent figure in the English Puritan movement. She was known for her religious writings and her advocacy for religious reform.
In the 19th century, Alyssabeth Worthington (1825-1897) was a British philanthropist and social reformer who worked tirelessly to improve the lives of the poor and underprivileged in London. Her efforts led to the establishment of several charitable organizations and community initiatives.
Another notable figure was Alyssabeth Montague (1885-1962), an American artist and illustrator who gained recognition for her vibrant and whimsical depictions of children and nature. Her artwork graced the pages of numerous children's books and magazines during the early 20th century.
In the field of literature, Alyssabeth Morrissey (1920-2005) was an acclaimed Irish poet and novelist whose works explored themes of identity, love, and the human condition. Her poetry collections and novels earned her numerous awards and accolades throughout her illustrious career.

FAQ
Alyssabeth: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Alyssabeth?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 120 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Alyssabeth going back to 1880 and adjusting each cohort for expected survival using CDC actuarial life tables. The result is an age-weighted living-bearer count, not a raw birth total. That works out to about 1 in 2,856,286 US residents.
Is Alyssabeth a common name?
We classify Alyssabeth as "Very Rare". It ranks above 67.2% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 123 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Alyssabeth most popular?
The single biggest year for Alyssabeth was 1999, when 10 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Alyssabeth is about 25 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
What does the SSA popularity chart show?
The chart tracks births, not the number of people alive with the name today. Each point shows how many babies were given the name Alyssabeth in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Alyssabeth a female name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Alyssabeth in the SSA data are female. You can see the full per-sex comparison in the gender distribution section above, which includes the latest year rank, birth count, and peak year for each sex.
Is Alyssabeth still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Alyssabeth in 2024, and the page above shows its latest-year rank where available. A name can be well past its peak and still remain in steady use, especially if it built up a large population over earlier decades.
Why can a name have a lot of living bearers even if it is not trendy now?
Because living-bearer counts and current baby-name popularity measure different things. A name like Alyssabeth can build up a very large population over many decades, even if fewer parents are choosing it now than they did at its peak.
Where does this data come from?
First-name figures come from the Social Security Administration's national baby name files, which cover every name on a birth certificate from 1880 to 2024. Living-bearer estimates layer in CDC actuarial life tables broken out by sex to account for mortality. The population baseline (342,754,338) is the Census Bureau's latest national estimate. You can read the full calculation on our methodology page.
Does every first name have Census demographic data?
No. The public Census first-name release only covers names that met the Bureau's publication rules, so many rarer names in the SSA files do not have a published Census demographic snapshot. In those cases, the page still shows the SSA trend, gender history, and state data.
