Tabbetha is of Hebrew origin, derived from the word 'tabbatha', meaning 'pure' or 'clean'. It was a rare given name among women in the New Testament of the Bible, where Tabitha (the variant spelling) is mentioned as a follower of Jesus Christ who was raised from the dead by Saint Peter. In recent years, Tabbetha has been gaining popularity as an alternative to more common names like Tabitha.
Tabbetha's popularity peaked in the late 80s to early 90s, with a high of 17 births in 1983 and 16 births in 1988. However, it seems the name has since declined, as there were only 5 births each in 1993 and 1996. Overall, there were 214 babies named Tabbetha between 1966 and 1997.
