Bethenny is English in Origin.
Bethenny is a modern English variant of Bethany, the New Testament place name near Jerusalem visited by Jesus. Through Greek Bethania from Aramaic/Hebrew beit ("house of") plus a debated second element, it is commonly interpreted as "house of figs," with "house of affliction/poverty" also cited.
As a given name in English, Bethany gained currency after the Reformation and rose strongly in the late 20th century; Bethenny, with its doubled n and y, emerged more recently in the United States, helped into wider notice by television figure Bethenny Frankel. Spelling variants and cousins include Bethany, Bethanie, Bethani, Bethaney, and Betheny. Short forms such as Beth and Annie are familiar; Benny is an informal, rarer nickname. Some also perceive Bethenny as a blend of Beth (from Elizabeth) and Enny/Annie, yet its core lineage traces to the biblical toponym.
