Origin: Hebrew

Meaning: Daughter of Jehovah; House of God

Bethea is a feminine name of Hebrew origin, from Bithiah, meaning “daughter of Jehovah.” Bithiah appears in the Old Testament, borne by the Egyptian princess who rescued baby Moses, making Bethea a subtle yet classic biblical name. Also considered a form of the gender-neutral name Bethel, Bethea may carry the endearment “house of God.” Reminiscent of the quintessential Elizabeth, Bethea comes packed with ancient charm while maintaining a modern, youthful appeal.
