Tabitha has not been a particularly prolific name in recent times, although it was once popular among puritans for its Biblical association. In the Bible, Tabitha was the name of a woman who was brought back to life by Saint Peter. The name is Aramaic in origin, and is almost always said to mean “gazelle,” an animal long regarded as a symbol of grace. In more modern times, the best known Tabitha is likely the character from the television show Bewitched. Parents who do give this name often find it leads nicely to the nickname Tabby, which is fun and quirky.
