Throughout history, many notable women have carried this name, including the first woman to earn a Ph.D. in mathematics in the United States, Deborah Cohen.

Instead, it has become more widely used as a secular name in various cultures around the world. While there are no specific traditions or celebrations associated with this name, those named Debbra may choose to celebrate their special day on October 21st, which is National Name Yourself Day in some countries. Overall, Debbra is an uncommon yet meaningful name that carries a rich history and unique significance.
