History & Origin

Tabbatha is a respelling of Tabitha, from Aramaic tabitha, 'gazelle', an image of grace and swiftness. The biblical Tabitha, praised for charity, gives the name a gentle pedigree, and mid-century television helped its many spellings spread.

This spelling stayed uncommon, reaching a modest peak in the late nineteen-eighties before easing off. It reads as a later-century spelling of a classic and is little used today.

Did you know? The parent name Tabitha appears in the New Testament and was revived in the 1960s partly through the little witch Tabitha on television, which lifted all its spellings.
