Bathseva
Bathseva Origin and Meaning
Bathseva is a feminine name representing a variant spelling of Bathsheba, a biblical name with Hebrew origins. In the Old Testament, Bathsheba was the wife of Uriah who later married King David and became the mother of Solomon. The name derives from Hebrew elements meaning "daughter of oath" or "seventh daughter." This particular spelling variant, Bathseva, softens the pronunciation while maintaining the biblical connection. Though uncommon in contemporary use, the name carries significant religious and historical weight. It may appeal to families seeking biblical names that aren't frequently used. While the traditional Bathsheba appears occasionally in religious communities, Bathseva remains extremely rare. The name's distinctive sound and biblical heritage make it a unique choice for parents drawn to names with ancient roots and spiritual significance.
