History & Origin
Debany has no recorded etymology. Its opening recalls Deborah, from Hebrew Devorah, 'bee,' a judge and prophetess in the Hebrew Bible; its ending recalls Bethany, the village near Jerusalem where Mary, Martha and Lazarus lived. Neither link is documented for this exact form, so we present it honestly as a modern coinage of uncertain route (said 'DEB-uh-nee').
It appears only in very small numbers in the U.S. Rare, modern, and soft.
