Betzayra
Meaning of Betzayra
Betzayra is a feminine given name of Hebrew origin, derived as a Hispanicized variant of the ancient placename Bethsaida—literally “house of fish”—which figures prominently in early Christian texts as the lakeside village where significant healings are said to have occurred. Pronounced bet-SAY-ruh (/bɛtˈseɪrə/), the name conveys both a scholarly resonance, reflective of its etymological roots, and a distinctively modern appeal within Anglo-American naming conventions. Its usage in the United States has remained exceptionally rare—peaking in 2005 with twelve recorded births (ranked 934th nationally) and declining thereafter—thus lending the name an air of exclusivity and cultural subtlety that may particularly appeal to parents seeking a biblically grounded yet uncommon choice.
