Bethall likely developed as an altered spelling of Bethel, from Hebrew Bet-El meaning "house of God," a biblical place name favored by Puritans and later Nonconformists, which led to given-name use in English-speaking countries from the 17th century onward. It may also reflect the English/Welsh surname Bethell, itself from the Welsh patronymic ab Ithel; the Celtic name Ithel is often analyzed from elements meaning "lord" and "generous," yielding "bountiful lord."

As a given name Bethall appears sporadically in 19th-20th-century records for both sexes, with modern usage skewing feminine through the association with Beth. Related forms and spellings include Bethel, Bethal, Beth-El, and Bethell; cognates and place-name renderings include Hebrew Beit-El and Spanish Betel. Informal short forms can be Beth or Ellie. The name carries a quiet, devotional tone balanced by a surname-style cadence, suiting parents drawn to understated biblical heritage.
