I know someone called Tabitha, their nickname is Tabby. It's a lovely name!

Tabitha Babbitt 1779-1853 was an American inventor. She was a well known tool maker and invented the circular saw among other things. She must have been of a strong character to break through in a male dominated world.

I love the name I don’t understand the hate it gets it reminds me of the first English pioneer settlers in America surviving with so little and founding a nation built on determination and shear will to succeed in the face of extreme adversity.
The name Tabitha is just as tenacious and beautiful as the history itself in my opinion.

Honestly, this name reminds me of Tabi, a character from Friday Night Funkin'.

Hi, a Tabitha here. If you're considering naming your kid Tabitha, please be prepared to listen to your child complain about teachers being unable to pronounce their name, and people ribbing them for the name as well. My 10th grade English teacher could not pronounce my name, no matter who/when someone corrected him. I'm still salty about that. Additionally, for nicknames, instead of "Tabby" or "Tibby" I recommend "Tabi", "Tab" or "Tabs", I am frequently called by these names and prefer them to the alternatives, however, that could just be a me thing. I thought it would be nice to keep options open for your kid. Be warned, if you go with "Tabi" people will misspell it.

I find Tabitha to be a very beautiful witchy, and whimsical name. It’s perfect for a girl through all ages of life and it’s good for a cat if you want! Tabitha has a classy and intelligent look and sound to it. The meaning is lovely.

I have an adorable cat named Tabitha. Her namesake is Tabitha Twitchit, the character created by Beatrix Potter (Tom Kitten's mother!)
Tabby is a great nickname and overall Tabitha just sounds so friendly to me.

Super rare name. I've only met one Tabitha and she was a super likable person. :) I'm kinda surprised as to why it hasn't been used more. I have faith it will come back around since people are trying to stay away from the top 1,000 baby names. Lol.

I don't care for biblical names usually, but this one seems to stand out as an exception to me for whatever reason. It has a pleasant old fashioned charm that I could easily see being revived to a pretty charm for modern times as well. It seems to age well from suiting a little girl to a woman and it's feminine and strong. I also really like the unique sound current of it. Tabby is also a cute nickname, my husband loves nicknames and is most excited about the Tabby aspect of this name haha.

Tabatha is how the "Bewitched" character Tabitha Stephens' name was spelled during the first couple of seasons of the show she appeared in. Later the spelling was changed to Tabitha.
Elizabeth Montgomery (who played the character's mother, Samantha Stephens) suggested the name Tabitha for her TV daughter, but it was misspelled as Tabatha. They fixed this a few seasons later.
Montgomery has stated that she disliked the Tabatha spelling.
Samantha and Tabitha Stephens were friendly witches on the TV show "Bewitched" which ran from 1964-1972.
The character of Tabitha (first spelled Tabatha) was born on the show in 1966. The show had a huge impact on the popularity of the name. It wasn't in the top 1000 in 1965, but in 1966 after the character was born on the show it jumped all the way up to #524 (Tabitha) and #418 (Tabatha) in just one year.

Ugh, this is my name and I hate it. This name is not a good name, and it means not great things either. People keep saying it's from the bible but if you look into it tabes- means to rot/emaciation/disease and -beatha means life; both of these in gaelic. Together you get rotted life. Really doesn't help that tabhartha means illegitimate child. I went through a life trying to break this curse of a name. It doesn't feel good to bear this name. Just some food for thought ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

I like this name better spelled as "Tabetha". It just seems more unique and pretty. But it's nice either way. It's definitely 100% better than "Dorcas".

My name is Tabitha, and I used to hate it because nobody could pronounce or spell it, and that people used to always ask me if I was a cat, as well as that being called 'dorcus' in Greek was apparently 'funny' when I was younger. Now that I'm older, I've grown to love my name. Nobody's ever called me a witch, and to be honest, I don't have any problem with being called a witch.
I think the the name is eccentric and quirky, and I like it because that's what I'm often called, and it matches the way I dress and my personality.

This is my name. I guess it’s okay. I don’t love it, but I don’t hate it. I hear a lot of people saying it rolls off the tongue so easily, which I don’t really think is true for me. I find it kind of awkward to say. Also, people always say: “have you ever heard of Bewitched?” Yes. Yes, I have. I think I got it down the first million or so times people have asked me that.
I have always despised the nickname ‘Tabs’ or ‘Beth’. Tabby is okay, but Abby is my favorite nickname for this. Oh, and if you don’t like the nickname Tabby, don’t name your kid Tabitha. They will get called that no matter what.
I used to hate my name when I was little. Mostly because nose twitching was one of my nervous tics, so that was an unfortunate coincidence. But, I’ve grown to like this name more and more. I like that it’s unique. Its popularity is going down, and I don’t think it sounds at all like an old grandma name. All the people I’ve met with this name have been young. I’ve liked most of the Tabithas I’ve met, except for one who wasn’t very nice, but names don’t define people.

Being someone named Tabitha after the show Bewitched I don't mind the witch questions but two things I do hate relating to my name is 1. Bridge to Terabithia and 2. If you watch Walking Dead in one episode there is a goat named Tabitha that dies by getting eaten by zombies. No one lets me live these two things down.

My name is Tabitha. I have always loved it except for the comments you get about "Bewitched": "Are you a witch?" and "Can you twitch your nose?"
I end up doing a lot of explaining that no, I wasn't named after a witch, I was named after Tabitha in the Bible, who was a wonderful and kind woman.
I love how unique my name is. It's not like being called Jessica or Jennifer, where there are often half a dozen other girls with the same name as you.
I also love the meaning of my name: beautiful and graceful, or gazelle, and I like being called Tabby or even Tabby Cat for a nickname, because I like cats. It does make you wonder, though - how did the name come to be applied to cats when it means gazelle?

I disagree about Talitha and Tabitha as twin names, as they sound way too close together to my ears and I love this name for some reason. My cousin is Tabitha/Tabby, and she is the only Tabitha I know. Something about the way this name sounds is pleasant and kind, and also sweet but crazy in a good way.

My name is Tabitha and like many others, I was named after the bewitched character “Tabitha”
I have scrolled through the comments and I think “Edith” is a great nick name!
To anyone who hates their name (Tabitha) DON'T hate it. It makes you unique. And if you like cats, “Tabby Cat”! (that was a nickname of mine).

I don't LOVE the name. But my name is Tabitha and my mother says I was supposed to be a boy and my name was going to be Rhonen. When I came out as a girl, she decided to name me Tabitha because she was watching Bewitched while she was in labor. After that, she decided that my middle name was going to be "Adore" because when the doctors saw me, they said I was the most adorable baby they had seen in a long time.

My name is Tabitha. I would be very careful before naming a baby with this name. The references to Bewitched do NOT stop. The program still plays in re-runs all the time. The character on the show is a darling, little blond witch. But, she is still a witch, and there is a stigma attached to witches, even fictional witches. Very few people remember or know that this is a biblical name. I love my parents very dearly, but I wish they had picked out another name for me.

The Hebrew name Tzvia seems to be a variant of this name, they both have the same origin.
The name Tabitha comes from the Aramaic word for "Gazelle" טביתא ṭabītā. The Hebrew names Tzvia and Tzvi similarly came from the same origin.

I would definitely use this name on a little girl, and I think it would grow with her. I would even use the nickname Tabby. It's no different to Abby or Libby or Tillie in my opinion. It's a funky nickname and so what if it is also a type of coat type on a cat? I like cats. I'm not a cat lady. But what about Catherine or Katrina etc, with the nickname Kat or Cat? Is that okay but Tabby is too cat-like? Don't be so quick to pigeonhole good honest and classic names like this... And I think that nicknames should maybe be fun and not taking themselves too seriously. Isn't that the point of having a casual nickname vs always using a formal and maybe conservative full name all the time? It's nice to kick back and be a Vicky sometimes lol!
I think this name is cute as a button on a little girl. And I've never met an adult Tabitha but I would be thrilled to. It's nice to have a biblical link too.

My name is Tabasa. My parents are Japanese and they named me after the daughter of the witch in the TV show Bewitched. Since there is no such pronunciation like "tha" in Japasese they just made it as "sa" so they could pronounce it. I've never met another "Tabasa" but I hear there are other Tabasas around. The cool thing is that my mom's nickname is Samantha because I am Tabitha (Tabasa). I love the fact that Tabitha means gazelle in Hebrew though!

My name is Tabetha. It is spelled very uniquely and I didn't know if anyone else had the same name as me. My parents named me after the movie Bewitched and I honestly don't like my name as much, so I go by Tabby but I hate how I tell people my name and they spell it wrong. I've gotten (Tabitha, Tabatha, Tebetha, Tabytha) and it annoys me so much but it's not a terrible name. Really it's just... unique :)

This is my name. I personally didn't like it growing up but it has grown on me :) I was named after the show Bewitched because my dad loved it. I have been asked "Can you twitch your nose?" several times- very annoying, although I do love the show. I hate being called Tabby- I prefer Tab. I don't know why but being called Tabby annoys me. I have met a few Tabitha's and I only liked one. Anyway, that's my spin on it and I love my unique name. ☆Tabitha ☆.

I like the name Tabitha. It somewhat reminds me of xylophones... and cats... Please don't ask me why, I have absolutely no idea. The first Tabitha I met was somewhat rude, but I still like the name. Another thing I think of when I hear the name is a fifty year old lady (?) or a cute little girl.... Which is weird because I only met one Tabitha as far as I know (the mean one) never seen one on TV, really.

My name is Tabitha, aka tabi to just about everyone who knows me and in school the teachers would always compare me to my brother because he was so outspoken and they would always talk about how shy and nice I was and I'm pretty sure it's the name because I have met about 2 or 3 other Tabithas and none of them ever seemed like they were really mean or anything.

I love this name. My mother wanted to name me Tabitha, but my father didn't like it. He thought it was to much of a "witch" name and didn't want me to end up a gothic child. I was named Caitlyn, a preppy name, when I am the complete opposite. I hope to name my future daughter Tabitha.

I really like this name; I think it sounds wonderfully quaint and rare. I think anyone called this would most certainly be eccentric in personality, which is another positive attribute to this name, I consider it to be at least. :-)

I love cats but it seems tacky to name one's daughter Tabitha with the intention of calling her Tabby for the cat association. Anyway, I didn't know about the Bewitched thing before reading the name description and comments, so I guess that association is dying down. I love this name. I first found out about gazelles when I was watching a cartoon when I was little. The main character had a crush on a girl and said she was like "a graceful gazelle" so I like the combo Tabitha Grace or Tabitha Hannah etc.

The Greek form of Tabitha is as follows: ταβιθα
This is the same name as Dorcas. The Greek form of Dorcas is as follows: δορκας
Both names mean gazelle, which is sometimes called a roe deer. This is a small red deer which lives in the Holy Land. There is a gazelle known as the Dorcas gazelle which was named after the Disciple Dorcas or Tabitha, who is mentioned in Acts 9.
The Hebrew word for Gazelle is as follows: עופר

My name is Tabitha, and I am 16. I've never really liked my name, but my nickname is Tabby and some of my best friends will call me Tabby-cat sometimes. I don't think it's a bad thing that it sounds like a cat. :) I'm not even a cat person, (I prefer dogs) but I think Tabby is a cute nickname. I do get the Bewitched thing a lot from my mom's friends, but I love the show Bewitched, and Tabitha is awesome on there. I agree it's a million times better than Dorcas. Oh, and I was named Tabitha because one of my dad's friends who was a ballerina used it as her stage name and he loved it.

My name is Tabitha and I love it. People say that Tabitha reminds them of a cat but I have nicknames that have no relation to cats as well as ones that do eg Tabz, Tabs, Tabbie, Sabahsah, Sabbit etc., but I refuse to be called Tabby. I have never been asked about Bewitched, and my mother called me Tabitha because she liked the name, not because of Bewitched. I think my name is really pretty and exotic and I love the meaning - gazelle. I don't see why people have a problem with it. I have never met another Tabitha in my life and all my friends love my name too. They think it is so unique and it is. I'm 14 and all of my friends have names which are all pretty but not as unique, as I know a few other people with those names.

I read somewhere once that Tabitha was a popular slave name in N. America. I'm sure the Biblical references played a big part. I'd like to see more African-Americans give this name to their daughters. It's part of their heritage and harks back to a time when one of the few freedoms a black woman might be given in America was the right to name her children. Just a thought.

In French, "t'habit a" means, "you live in..." and is how Tabitha is pronounced by francophones! They can't say "th"! So, Tabitha York's name, to a Frenchman, sounds like, "You live in York"! To which he would respond, "No, I don't! So, what's your name!?" Could be confusing so best avoided for anyone who plans on bringing up their daughter in a French-speaking country!

My Mum's been out to name one of her kids Tabitha for years. I myself think that it's a fine name, and sounds not at all like it would belong to a spoiled child. It sounds more homely and pleasant, in my opinion. Maybe it's just me, but I think that Tabitha and Jemima would make good sisters.

I don't like the name Tabitha. It reminds me of a ugly, spoilt girl.

Well that's not nice! What if someone told you your name sounds ugly, I bet you wouldn't like it very much. And I happen to think it's a beautiful name!

Very pretty name! That blasted "Bewitched" ruined this cute cute name!

This name is so amazing. I like it with the middle name Grey or Willow. But people who worry about Bewitched don't, because that show was in the sixties. I highly doubt 14 year old kids would even know the show let alone watch it, so your daughter would have nothing to worry about.

This is a very common name for female tabby cats.

Tabitha is indeed a beautiful name, the way it just rolls off of your tongue; don't ask me why, but every time I hear this name, I think "cat." It is, however, a beautiful name that can be used for a variety of personalities and characters. Ideal for a unique person in a book, possibly a cat lover. Don't overuse it, though!

I think the name Tabitha is great. Very pretty, exotic and almost mystical. It is nice that it isn't overused.

My new baby cousin is called Tabitha. At first I thought it was a really weird name, but now I love it. It's unusual and pretty.

I love the name Tabitha. It's my sister's name. And a lot of people ask, did she get named after the show Bewitched. And yes that's why she was named that because my mom liked that show a lot.

My name is Tabitha and I get the following comments, ALL the time:
"By the way, you have a cool name."
"Beautiful name!"
"Oh my God, I love your name!"
I've also been asked "Is that a real name?" lol.
I haven't gotten a reference to the TV show Bewitched since I was maybe 12 or 13 (I'm now 20), and even when I did, it was still compliments.
I've only ever met 2 other Tabithas in my life and they were both so different from me. I think it's one of those names that's great for all sorts of people and that ages well. I love my name. :)

When I was little, my parents took me to a Shaker cemetery. It wasn't one of those tourist trap places--we were the only ones there. In fact, we ended up in a location that wasn't on the map. Realistically, people probably knew about it, but I felt like I had found a hidden crypt.
One of the graves there said "Tabitha Babbit" and I instantly fell in love with this name. Not only did I love the sound, I also pictured a kindly old witch living in a small cabin in the woods with jars of herbs on her shelf.
Years later, I was doing a school project on the Shakers. Flipping nonchalantly through a book, I spotted the name Tabitha Babbit in the index. You have to understand, I knew this woman as a body in a grave; a fantasy image. It had never occurred to me that she had been a real person, let alone someone who was actually interesting to anybody but me. As it turns out, she was an inventor (the Shakers liked to make things), and one of her inventions was a circular saw. Not the very first circular saw, mind you, but a pretty good one.
At first I was disappointed. She seemed so normal, not a magical being at all. But two seconds later, as I kept reading, I forgot my disappointment. I've since joined the two images in my mind--a combination of the mysterious witch and the intelligent, spirited woman. This name has always been and will continue to be an inspiration for me.

My name's spelt Tabetha. Said the same way, but spelt a little uniquely. I love my name. I've never met anyone else who had it. It's really cool to have a different name.

I LOVE the name Tabitha, but my husband vetoed it as a girl's name for us to use because of the show "Bewitched." He says it's the first thing he thinks of. Too bad.

A very cute and adorable name.

My mother always told me that she got my name from the bible. Now that I am 21 I have decided to do my own search. I really never did like my name because every one would ask "can you teitch your nose?" or "is your mothers name Samantha?" So I grew to dislike my name. Now I realize it is unique and I was wondering how many other people have the same name as me.
