    • Description:

      Tabatha is a variant spelling of Tabitha, a feminine name with Aramaic origins meaning 'gazelle.'

Tabatha gained popularity in the late 20th century, particularly after the television show 'Bewitched' featured a character named Tabatha.

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.
