Ibet is an uncommon and unique female given name of Hebrew origin, derived from the word 'ivah', meaning 'return'. It is often associated with the biblical story of Hosea, where God commands the prophet to marry a woman named Ibet, symbolizing the eventual return of Israel to God.
The name Ibet saw a gap of 27 years between the first and second recorded births (1963 to 1990), followed by another nine-year gap until the next birth in 1997. After that, there was an increase in usage, with two births each in 2000 and 2001. Overall, there were 32 births of Ibet recorded over this period.
