Beronthah is in Origin.

Beronthah is an extremely rare given name with a Semitic, biblical flavor, likely modeled on the toponym Berothah/Berothai. In the Hebrew Bible, these names mark northern border towns, and many linguists connect them with the Semitic element be’er “well, spring,” also seen in related place-names like Beeroth and (by association) ancient Beroth/Beirut “the wells.” Other older glosses link the base to “cypress” trees. Because the precise root is debated, meanings proposed for Beronthah range from “of the wells/springs” to “place of cypresses.” The inserted n in Beronthah reads as a modern phonetic smoothing; common pronunciation is beh-ROHN-thah.

As a given name, Beronthah has no established medieval or saintly usage and surfaces mainly in late 20th–21st century English-language naming, typically for girls but potentially unisex. Attested variants include Berothah, Berotha, Berontha, and Berontha; related biblical forms are Berothai and Beeroth.
