A diminutive form of the female given name Elizabeth

No one ever called Elizabeth Tannenbaum stunning, but most men found her attractive. Hardly anyone called her Elizabeth, either. An Elizabeth was regal, cool, an eyecatching beauty. A Betsy was pleasant to look at, a tiny bit overweight, capable, but still fun to be with. Betsy suited her just fine.

Betsy Ross
the woman who is believed to have made the first US flag (1752-1836). orig. Elizabeth Griscom born Jan. 1, 1752, Philadelphia, Pa. died Jan. 30, 1836, Philadelphia, Pa., U.S. American patriot. She worked as a seamstress and upholsterer, carrying on her husband's upholstery business after he was killed in the American Revolution. According to legend, in 1776 she was visited by George Washington, Robert Morris, and her husband's uncle George Ross, who asked her to make a flag for the new nation based on a sketch by Washington. She is supposed also to have suggested the use of the five-pointed star rather than the six-pointed one chosen by Washington. Though Ross did make flags for the navy, no firm evidence supports the legend of the national flag. In 1777 the Continental Congress adopted the Stars and Stripes as the U.S. flag
