Bettey Origin and Meaning

The name Bettey is a girl's name.

Bettey is a feminine variation of the classic name Betty, which originated as a diminutive of Elizabeth. The unique spelling with an added 'e' gives this traditional name a distinctive touch while maintaining its vintage charm. Elizabeth ultimately derives from the Hebrew name Elisheba, meaning "God is my oath." Bettey reached modest popularity in the mid-20th century but remains relatively uncommon today. The name carries connotations of warmth and friendliness associated with the more common Betty, yet stands out with its special spelling. Like its traditional counterpart, Bettey evokes a sense of retro charm that some parents appreciate for its nostalgic quality and sweet simplicity.
