Betani is Hebrew in Origin.
Betani is a streamlined international variant of Bethany, the New Testament place name for a village near Jerusalem associated with Mary, Martha, and Lazarus. Its source lies in Aramaic/Hebrew beth/beit 'house' plus either 'ani 'poor, afflicted' or te'enah 'fig', giving traditional interpretations such as 'house of affliction' and 'house of figs/dates'.
As a given name, Bethany gained currency in English-speaking countries from the 19th century and peaked in the late 20th; Betani appears in Scandinavian and Eastern European usage where biblical toponyms often drop h (cf. Betania) and shorten endings. Related forms include Bethany, Betany, Bethanie, Bethannie, Bethani, Betania, and Bethania; nicknames span Beth, Betty, Annie, and Tani. Betani keeps the gentle, devotional associations of its source while feeling crisp and contemporary, making it a distinctive yet familiar choice.
