The etymology of the name "Bithia" can be traced back to both Hebrew and Egyptian origins.
In Hebrew, "Bithia" (בִּתְיָה) is derived from the root word "בת" (bat), meaning "daughter", and the feminine suffix "יָה" (-yah), which is a variation of the divine name "Yahweh" or "Jehovah". Therefore, "Bithia" can be translated as "daughter of Yahweh" or "daughter of Jehovah", signifying a connection to God.
In Egyptian, "Bithia" is associated with the name "Bityah", which is often interpreted as "daughter of Ra" or "daughter of the sun god Ra".
