Hepzibah
About Hepzibah
This is a streamlined spelling of the biblical Hephzibah. Hephzibah is an Old Testament name that came into use in the 17th century, but is not often used today. It does have less formal nicknames Eppie and Hepsie, which seem revivable. Hephzibah "Eppie" Cass/Marner is the heroine of George Eliot's novel Silas Marner and Hepzibah Smith is a witch in the Harry Potter series.
Pronounced hep-ZY-bah.
Editor's take: The name Hepzibah is a girl's name of Hebrew origin meaning "my delight is in her".
