The modern day given name for a female, which stems from the name of the Phoenician lunar goddess, 'Tanit', who was worshiped as the patron goddess at Carthage, and is recognized as both a heavenly goddess of war and virginal mother goddess of love. Characteristically a girl prone to intense emotions, intellectual curiosity, a stubborn temperament, but also a tender heart. A Tanith is often kinder and more forgiving of others than she is to herself, and likewise both gives and expects too much of herself and others.
"You forgave him after that?! Wow, what a Tanith thing to do."
"I tried to get her to stop beating herself up about her mistake, but she was much too Tanith to listen."

Get the taisha mug.Tabitha.....when people hear this name they may think of the TV show Bewitched; Tabitha Twitchett, the talking cat from Beatrix Potter's children's series, or the vegan celebrity chef Tabitha Brown. Tabitha is a feminine name that is a derivative of the Aramaic word for gazelle ( "טביתא", or "ṭaḇīṯā"). Aramaic is an ancient Syrian language that parts of the New Testament Bible were written in. When translated into modern English, "טביתא" becomes "Tabitha".
The name "Tabitha" is found in the book of the Acts of the Apostles, written 80-100 years after the crucifixion of Christ. In this Bible story, the character Tabitha is a widow who was always doing good, helping the poor, and making clothes for those in need. She dies, is mourned by her community, and is raised back to life by the Apostle Peter.
The Biblical "Tabitha" was canonized by the Roman Catholic Church as "St. Tabitha".
The book of Acts mentions that the Greek version of this name is "Dorcas". If you're a "Tabitha", you should be grateful your name-givers didn't go with the Greek version, which sounds unfortunately like "dork-ass". Sometimes the name "Tabitha" is confused with "Samantha" or other generic Anglo-Saxon names. Tabitha is a fairly unique name, and the owner of such a name should carry pride in its uniqueness and history.
