“The biblical princess who rescued baby Moses”

Origin & Etymology

Bithiah is a Hebrew name composed of two elements: bat (daughter) and Yah (a shortened form of YHWH, the name of God). Together they form Bat-Yah, meaning daughter of God. It is a deeply spiritual name expressing the relationship between a person and the divine, similar in construction to names like Elijah (my God is YHWH) and Obadiah (servant of God).

Popularity Story

Bithiah remains a rare but enduring biblical name, chosen primarily by families who value its spiritual significance and biblical narrative. It has seen modest use in Jewish and Christian communities who seek distinctive Old Testament names beyond the familiar choices.

Cultural Significance

In the Bible (1 Chronicles 4:18), Bithiah is identified as a daughter of Pharaoh who married Mered of the tribe of Judah. Jewish tradition particularly honors her as the princess who rescued the infant Moses from the Nile — an act of extraordinary compassion that changed history. The Talmud states that God rewarded her with this name daughter of God for her mercy.
