Sabtah is Biblical, Hebrew in Origin.

Sabtah is a little‑used biblical name drawn from the Hebrew Bible. In the Table of Nations (Genesis 10:7; 1 Chronicles 1:9) it designates a son of Cush and grandson of Ham, likely the eponym of a people or place linked to the Cushite/South Arabian world. The Hebrew form transmits a non‑Israelite ethnonym, and scholars regard the etymology as uncertain rather than Hebrew; proposed connections with South Arabian toponyms have been made but remain tentative.

Attested variants include Sabta (shorter English form), Greek Sabatha (Septuagint), and Latin Sabatha; some modern Hebraists render it Savtah. The name carries no secure meaning, though folk derivations from the root sh-b-t (“Sabbath/cease”) are generally rejected. As a given name today it is exceedingly rare and primarily masculine, used by parents seeking an obscure scriptural choice; it is sometimes grouped with related Cushite names such as Sabteca, Raamah, and Seba.
