Tabby
Meaning of Tabby
Tabby, pronounced TAB-ee (/ˈtæbi/), is a feminine given name functioning as a diminutive form of Tabitha—an Aramaic appellation meaning “gazelle”—and has concurrently accrued semantic associations with the striped coat pattern characteristic of the domesticated cat variant referred to colloquially as a tabby. Within the Anglo-American onomastic framework, Tabby registers as a low-occurrence choice, as evinced by United States Social Security Administration records from 1955 through 1976, during which annual conferrals ranged between five and nineteen and national rankings held within the narrow interval of 728 to 776, thereby indicating its classification as an uncommon yet culturally resonant name option for those seeking a blend of biblical heritage and domestic familiarity.
