Meaning & origin
Betsabe is a Spanish form of the ancient biblical name Bathsheba, a name borne by a prominent figure in the Old Testament as the wife of King David and mother of Solomon. Despite its deep historical roots, Betsabe has remained exceedingly rare in the United States. It first appeared in recorded data in 1979, and by 2025 it ranked 3389th, occurring in only 1 in 35,717 births. Its peak usage came in 2004, yet even then it was far from common. The name's trajectory has been rising since 1986, indicating a slow but steady increase in interest. Geographically, Betsabe is most frequently found in California and Texas, reflecting its usage within Hispanic communities. The name's rarity gives it a distinctive, traditional feel, though parents should be aware that its biblical associations may prompt frequent questions about pronunciation and origin.
Betsabe is a Spanish variant of Bathsheba, a biblical name from the Hebrew בַּת־שֶׁבַע (Bat-Sheva), meaning 'daughter of the oath' or 'seventh daughter'. In the Old Testament, Bathsheba was the wife of King David and mother of Solomon. The name entered Spanish usage through Christian tradition and remains relatively rare.
