Betynah is in Origin.
Betynah is a modern feminine given name, most plausibly a creative respelling that blends the sound of Bettina/Betina with Bethany. Bettina is the Italian and German pet form of Elisabetta/Elisabeth (ultimately from Hebrew Elisheva, “my God is an oath”), while Bethany comes via Greek from an Aramaic/Hebrew place-name near Jerusalem with debated etymology, often glossed as “house of figs/dates” or “house of affliction.”
Used sporadically since the late 20th century, Betynah remains rare and unstandardized, appealing to parents seeking a familiar root with a distinctive twist. Spelling variants and cognates include Betinah, Betina, Bettina, and Bethina; a related choice is Bethany. Nicknames include Betty/Bety, Beti, Tina, and Beth. Depending on which root one emphasizes, Betynah can carry the devotional meaning “pledged to God” (Elizabeth line) or the evocative place-name sense “house of figs/dates.”
Betynah does not appear in any of the birth registries or name datasets we track. This usually means it's either extremely rare, a regional/traditional name not captured by official statistics, or a brand-new coinage. Use it knowing your child will almost certainly be the only one in the room.
