Bithiah is Hebrew in Origin.
Bithiah is a feminine given name of Hebrew origin, a transliteration of Bat-Yah, meaning “daughter of Yah(weh).” It appears in the Hebrew Bible at 1 Chronicles 4:18 as the name of a Pharaoh’s daughter who married the Judahite Mered. Later Jewish tradition often identifies her with the unnamed princess who rescued the infant Moses, reading the name as a theophoric honorific bestowed after she embraced Israel’s God.
In English Bibles the form Bithiah (and less often Bithia/Bethiah) circulated from the 16th–18th centuries and saw modest use among Puritans and in colonial New England. In Jewish and Israeli contexts the modern forms Batya, Batia, and Bitya are common; Bethia and Bathia also occur in older records. Variants: Batya, Batia, Bitya, Bithia, Bethiah/Bethia. The name connotes piety, protection, and filial devotion.
