Beth-Gader is Hebrew in Origin.
Beth-Gader is a rare biblical place-name of Hebrew origin (Beit-Gader), built from beth “house” and gader “wall, fence, enclosure.” It conveys senses such as “house of the wall,” “house of the enclosure,” or “walled homestead.” The root g-d-r appears widely in Hebrew with the idea of fencing off or defining boundaries. The name occurs in 1 Chronicles 2:51, where Hareph is called the “father” (founder) of Beth-Gader, likely placing the settlement in the Judean hill country near Bethlehem.
As a given name, Beth-Gader is a modern, highly uncommon choice, generally treated as unisex and selected for its distinctive scriptural and architectural resonance. Variants and spellings include Beth Gader, Bethgader, Bet-Gader, and Beit Gader. Related cognates from the same root include Gader and Geder; note that Gedor is a separate name. Comparable “Beth-” names are Bethany, Bethel, and Bethlehem.
Beth-Gader does not appear in any of the birth registries or name datasets we track. This usually means it's either extremely rare, a regional/traditional name not captured by official statistics, or a brand-new coinage. Use it knowing your child will almost certainly be the only one in the room.
