Bethney

Bethney is an English name formed as a variant spelling of Bethany, which derives from the Hebrew place name Beit Anyah, meaning roughly house of affliction or house of figs. Bethany holds significance in the New Testament as the village near Jerusalem associated with Mary, Martha, and Lazarus, which helped establish it as a given name in the Christian tradition. Bethney sits alongside other spelling variants such as Bethanie and Bethani.
