📖 Acerca de Betty
Betty es un diminutivo de Elizabeth, cuya raiz hebrea Elisheba significa "mi Dios es un juramento". Pasando por las formas intermedias Bette y Bet, adquirio su caracter distintivamente americano en el siglo XX. Betty alcanzo el puesto 2 en los Estados Unidos en 1928, con casi 36.000 nacimientos en un solo ano, manteniendose en el top 5 durante toda la decada de la Gran Depresion. El nombre se asocio con una imagen particular de la feminidad estadounidense: honrada, capaz y calida, encarnada en iconos como Betty Crocker y Betty Boop. Aunque comenzo a declinar en los anos 50, sigue siendo un nombre de calido reconocimiento cultural, mantenido vivo por figuras queridas como Betty White y Betty Ford.
