Tabatha Origin and Meaning

The name Tabatha is a girl's name.

Tabatha is a variant spelling of Tabitha, a feminine name with Aramaic origins meaning 'gazelle.' In the New Testament, Tabitha (called Dorcas in Greek) was a charitable woman restored to life by the apostle Peter. This spelling variation maintains the biblical connection while offering a slightly different appearance. Tabatha gained popularity in the late 20th century, particularly after the television show 'Bewitched' featured a character named Tabatha. The name combines ancient origins with a contemporary feel, making it timeless yet accessible. While less common than the traditional spelling, Tabatha appeals to parents seeking a name with historical depth and spiritual significance that remains recognizable without being overly popular.
