Bethanya, of Hebrew origin, translates to 'daughter of God'. It is a variant spelling of Bethany, a village where Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead as mentioned in the New Testament. The name has gained popularity in recent years due to its unique sound and meaning. It is composed of two elements: 'beth' meaning 'house' or 'tent', and 'yah' which is an abbreviated form of YHWH, the Hebrew name of God. Thus, Bethanya signifies 'house of God'. The name offers a blend of tradition and modernity, making it appealing to parents seeking a distinct yet meaningful name for their child.
"Bethanya had exactly six children born each year from 2011 onwards."
