Bethanye is a modern elaboration of Bethany, an English feminine name taken from the New Testament place near Jerusalem associated with Mary, Martha, and Lazarus, and another site east of the Jordan.

Adopted by English speakers from the Reformation onward, Bethany saw periodic revivals, rising strongly in the late 20th century in Britain and North America. Bethanye reflects contemporary respelling trends and French-influenced Bethanie, adding a final -e while keeping the usual pronunciation (beh-THAN-ee).
