Bettah is in Origin.

Bettah is a modern English given name, most commonly understood as a creative spelling of Betta/Bette/Beth, diminutives of Elizabeth. Elizabeth derives from Hebrew Elisheva, often interpreted as “my God is an oath” or “God is abundance.” The form also echoes Italian Betta (from Elisabetta) and Scandinavian pet names like Bettan, with the doubled t and final h lending a distinctive, contemporary look without changing the core sound.

Usage is rare but documented in late-20th and 21st-century English-speaking records, typically as a feminine choice, though its brisk, nickname style allows unisex use. Variants and related forms include Betta, Betah, Bette, Betty, Bettie, Beth, Betsy/Betsey, Bettina, Beta (Polish diminutive of Elżbieta), and Elspeth. Parents who pick Bettah often appreciate its clipped energy and subtle nods to multiple European traditions while retaining the enduring Elizabethan meaning of sacred promise.
