Dabiah is Hebrew in Origin.

Dabiah is an Arabic-derived name linked to the root dh-b-ḥ, ‘to sacrifice/slaughter.’ It corresponds to Dhābiḥ/Dhābiḥah, literally ‘the sacrificer’ or ‘butcher,’ a word that also lent its form to Dabih, the traditional name of Beta Capricorni in medieval Arabic star lore. In naming, the sense is often softened to ‘one who offers’ or ‘dedicated,’ and the celestial tie gives it a poetic, night‑sky resonance.

As a given name it is rare but documented across the Arabic-speaking world and the wider diaspora. Spellings vary with transliteration: Dabiah, Dabiyah, Dhabiya, and Dabih for the masculine; related forms include Dabiha/Dhabiha (feminine) and Zabih (Persian-influenced). Its unusual profile and stellar association appeal to parents seeking an Arabic-rooted name with historical depth yet modern distinctiveness.
