History & Origin
Deborha is a transposed spelling of Deborah, from Hebrew devorah, 'bee,' the name of the prophetess and judge who led Israel in the Book of Judges. The -rah of Deborah has been swapped to -rha here, most likely a handwriting slip fixed in the record during the name's postwar peak.
The spelling crested around 1956 and had faded by the early 1990s, so a Deborha today skews grandmother-aged. It is plainly a variant rather than a name with its own trajectory, and it has not revived; parents choosing this sound use Deborah or Debra.
