About Josabet
Josabet is a feminine name with biblical origins, representing a variant spelling of Jehosheba or Josaba. In the Bible, Jehosheba was the daughter of King Jehoram who saved her nephew Joash from being killed with the other royal princes. The name likely derives from Hebrew elements meaning "Yahweh is an oath" or "Yahweh is abundance." This particular spelling variation, Josabet, offers a simplified yet distinctive form that maintains the name's ancient roots. While uncommon in contemporary usage, Josabet provides a biblical option with less familiarity than names like Elizabeth or Judith. The name carries dignified historical associations while offering a somewhat unique choice for modern parents drawn to biblical feminine names.
Pronounced JO-suh-bet.
As of October 2026, Josabet ranked #15984 for girls in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #3075 for girls in 2020.
