Tabea Origin and Meaning

Tabea is a feminine name of Hebrew origin, derived from the Aramaic name 'Tabitha,' meaning 'gazelle' or 'doe.'

The Tabea spelling is particularly common in German-speaking countries and parts of Eastern Europe. The name carries connotations of grace, gentleness, and compassion through both its meaning and biblical associations. Though not widely used in English-speaking countries, Tabea has maintained consistent popularity in Germany and Switzerland. The name appeals to parents seeking a name with biblical roots that isn't overly common, yet carries positive attributes of kindness and elegance.
