Betzabe is a unique and distinctive name of Hebrew origin. It is derived from the Hebrew word "Betzyba", which means "my daughter is seven" or more broadly, "seven". This name holds significant historical importance in the Bible as it is the name of King David's daughter who was the object of Amnon's lustful desires and eventually became his concubine. Despite its biblical origins, Betzabe is not a particularly common name today and is often associated with strong and independent women. While some people may pronounce it differently, the most accurate pronunciation is BEHtzah-beh, with the stress on the second syllable. As for its popularity, there are no reliable statistics on the prevalence of this name, but it can be safely assumed that Betzabe is quite rare both in Israel and around the world.
The name Betzabe experienced fluctuations in popularity over the years, with a notable spike in 2004 (21 births) and consistently higher numbers from 2006 to 2012. However, it has since declined, with fewer than 10 births per year from 2013 onwards, reaching as low as 5 births in recent years like 2019, 2020, and 2023. Overall, there have been a total of 211 babies named Betzabe born between 1992 and 2023.
