What Does My Name Bethany Mean?

My daughter is Bethany. I found the name on a website with Hebrew names. It comes from Bat - Yah. Daughter of God or worshipper of God. I prefer it to House of Figs or Poverty. It is a precious name for beautiful young women of God.

Bethany means Gorgeous and sweet

Whoever has this name is a legend.
We have the coolest name :']

The name Bethany (Beth-a-nee) is a Biblical name of Hebrew origin; in the New Testament Bethany was the name of the village where Mary, Martha and Lazarus lived where Jesus had stayed during the Holy Week. The name means a house of figs or dates and connotes warmth; conversely it sometimes signifies house of afflictions and poverty.
The name is often used in honor of Mary of Bethany and stands for selfless and devoted service. The variants of the name are Bethany and Bethanie; the name also is often considered as a blend of the names Beth and Anne.

My name is also Bethany but you sholdn't need a name to define you. You are you! And you can make yourself whatever you want to be. You shouldn't have to ask what am I? Because the answer is staring back at you in the mirror. Have the confidence to believe in yourself and your emotions. Trust in your instincts and become what you want to become. Never forget that one persons definition of a name is not the same as another persons evn if they have the same name the name Bethany means whatever u want it to.
