Bethanie is Hebrew in Origin.
Bethanie is an English feminine given name, a variant of Bethany, taken from the New Testament place near Jerusalem associated with Mary, Martha, and Lazarus. The toponym comes from Aramaic/Hebrew elements: bet/bayit "house" + ani/anya "poor, afflicted," yielding "house of the poor/affliction"; some traditions connect it with te'enah "fig," hence the popular gloss "house of figs." The rich biblical resonance - site of Jesus's anointing and Lazarus's raising - underpins the name's devotional appeal.
As a personal name Bethany emerged in English by the 19th century and rose sharply in the later 20th century across the UK and US; Bethanie, with its -ie ending (cf. French Béthanie), offers a softer, less common alternative. International variants include Bethany, Béthanie (French), Betania (Spanish/Italian), and Betânia (Portuguese). Short forms and nicknames include Beth, Annie, and Thanie; related elaborations include Bethannie and Bethaney.
