Batsheva Origin and Meaning

The name Batsheva is a girl's name.

In the Bible, Bathsheba was the wife of King David and mother of King Solomon. The spelling 'Batsheva' reflects the modern Hebrew pronunciation rather than the anglicized 'Bathsheba.' The name is particularly popular in Jewish communities, especially among Orthodox families. Batsheva carries deep religious and cultural significance, connecting its bearers to ancient biblical heritage. While not common in mainstream Western naming, it has maintained consistent usage in Israel and Jewish diaspora communities, representing tradition, faith, and cultural continuity.
