Betzabe is a unique and distinctive name of Hebrew origin. It is derived from the Hebrew word "Betzyba", which means "my daughter is seven" or more broadly, "seven".

While some people may pronounce it differently, the most accurate pronunciation is BEHtzah-beh, with the stress on the second syllable. As for its popularity, there are no reliable statistics on the prevalence of this name, but it can be safely assumed that Betzabe is quite rare both in Israel and around the world.
