Bathshuah is Hebrew in Origin.

Bathshuah is a biblical feminine name of Hebrew origin, appearing in 1 Chronicles 3:5 (KJV) as “Bath-shua, the daughter of Ammiel,” an alternative form of Bathsheba, wife of King David and mother of Solomon. The first element bat means “daughter.” The second element is interpreted in two ways: aligned with Bathsheba (sheva, “seven” or idiomatically “oath”); or linked to shua/sho’a, yielding readings such as “opulence/wealth” (and less commonly “cry for help”). Accordingly, Bathshuah can be understood by association as “daughter of the oath/seven,” or more literally as “daughter of opulence.”

In English, Bathshuah/Bathshua entered use via the King James Bible and appears occasionally in 17th–18th‑century parish and colonial records, but remains rare today. Established variants include Bathshua, Bath-shua, Bathsheba, Bethsheba, Batsheva, and Bathsheva; modern Israeli usage favors Batsheva. Short forms include Sheba and Bat. The name conveys a venerable scriptural pedigree with an antiquarian, distinctive profile.
