The story of Elizabethann
Elizabeth Ann Bayley was born in New York in 1774, married the merchant William Seton, and was left a widow with five children when he died in Italy in 1803. She became a Catholic, moved to Emmitsburg, Maryland, and in 1809 founded the Sisters of Charity of St. Joseph's, opening a school for girls there. In 1975 she was declared a saint. Written as one word, her two names come within a letter of the adjective Elizabethan, of the age of Elizabeth I, though the adjective moves the stress and says the middle as BEE.
Meaning
my God is an oath, and grace
Elizabeth comes from Hebrew Elisheba, my God is an oath; Ann from Hannah, grace or favor. The compound keeps both.

Fashion outlook
Elizabethann sits outside the current charts, and that is its own kind of answer: naming cycles can only date the names they carried up. A name this rare has no decade stamped on it — it cannot go out of fashion, because it was never in.
