Meaning & History
Derived from Albanian bletë "bee". According to Albanian folk belief, the bee is a sacred animal: when an animal ceases to live, Albanians predominantly use the verb ngordh while when a bee ceases to live, the verb vdes is used (which is used to refer to human death), alluding that bees are beings of a higher caste, comparable to humans.A famous bearer of this name is Bleta "Bebe" Rexha (b. 1989), an Albanian-American singer and songwriter.
