History & Origin
Bethzaida is a Spanish devotional name from the New Testament town of Bethsaida, 'house of fishing.' In United States records it stays thin, carried mainly by Spanish-speaking families and reaching a small high around 2004 with only a couple dozen girls a year.
Because its use is fairly recent, a girl named Bethzaida is likely young rather than mid-century. Within Latin American Christian families such biblical place-names remain meaningful, though in wider United States naming it has always been rare.
