Bityah is Hebrew in Origin.
Bityah is a Hebrew theophoric name from bat/bit (“daughter”) + Yah (the divine name), meaning “daughter of Yah” or “daughter of God.” Pronounced BEE-tyah or beet-YAH, it appears in biblical Hebrew as Bityah (בִּתְיָה) and in later Hebrew as Batya (בַּתְיָה). Common variants and transliterations include Bithiah (English Bible form), Batia/Batiah, Batya, Bitya, and the Yiddish Basya/Basia.
In 1 Chronicles 4:18, Bityah is named as a daughter of Pharaoh who married Mered of Judah. Rabbinic tradition often identifies her with the compassionate Egyptian princess who drew Moses from the Nile, teaching that God renamed her “Bityah” because she became, by merit, a “daughter of Yah.” The name persisted in Jewish communities, especially under the forms Batya and Basya, and has seen modern revival in Israel and the diaspora for its elegant sound and affirming, devotional meaning.
Bityah is extremely rare. There are only 1 recorded use on record, spread over 1 country.
