Debbi

Debbi is an English feminine name functioning as an informal variant of Deborah, which derives from the Hebrew name Devorah, meaning bee. Devorah appears in the Hebrew Bible as a prophetess and judge who led the Israelites to victory against the Canaanites, giving the name strong historical and religious resonance. Debbi gained use as an independent given name in the twentieth century, particularly in American English-speaking communities. Related forms include Deborah, Debra, Debbie, and Deb.
