Debara

Debara is an uncommon feminine name that appears to be a variant spelling of Deborah, the Hebrew name meaning "bee." This alternative spelling emerged primarily in the United States during the mid-20th century when the standard spelling Deborah was enjoying considerable popularity. The name Debara maintains the same basic sound as Deborah but with a slightly different rhythm and visual appearance. While the biblical Deborah was a respected prophetess and judge known for her wisdom and leadership, Debara represents a more modern take on this ancient name. The variant has never achieved widespread usage, making it a relatively unique choice. Debara might appeal to parents seeking a name with biblical roots but with a more distinctive spelling that sets it apart from more common variations.

Pronounced deh-BAR-uh.

As of October 2026, Debara ranked #7055 in US births in 1974 SSA, peaked at #1744 in 1956.
