History & Origin

Bethanny follows Bethany, which grew popular as a girl's name in the late twentieth century. This spelling stayed rare, doubling the n, and reached a modest high in the early twenty-tens.

It was never common on its own, given to only about twenty girls a year at its peak, since most families used the standard Bethany. A girl spelled Bethanny at that high is still young today, around fifteen. The variant keeps the gentle three-beat sound of the biblical parent name.

Did you know? Bethany was the village of Mary, Martha, and Lazarus in the Gospels, so a name that looks like a simple respelling actually points to a real place still known near Jerusalem today.
