Batia is a feminine name of Hebrew origin meaning 'daughter of God.' In biblical tradition, Batia (sometimes spelled Bithiah) was the name of Pharaoh's daughter who found and adopted Moses from the Nile River. This connection gives the name significant historical and religious importance, particularly in Jewish communities where it has been used for generations. Batia combines spiritual significance with a melodic, accessible pronunciation. The name remained relatively uncommon in Western countries until recent decades, when interest in authentic biblical names began to increase. Batia offers a distinctive choice that carries ancient wisdom and divine associations while maintaining a contemporary feel with its concise, vowel-rich structure and meaningful heritage.
