Tabitha

I grew up calling my father's mother, "Granma Tabby". She was born in 1895 in Casey County, Kentucky. Her name was spelled "Tabitha" and was pronounced "tah-BUY-thu". She was named after a very good woman in the Bible, who made clothing for the poor. She died and the people in her village asked for the disciple Peter, who came and raised her from the dead in the name of Jesus. (Tabitha's name in Greek was Dorcas, and her'story is in the Book of Acts 9:36-42). One of my cousins is named after our Grandmother...but they wanted her name to be a little different, so her name is Tabatha and pronounced "TAB-a-thu". One of my aunt's told my grandmother that my cousin was named after a witch on TV, not her....all of this was VERY puzzling to my grandmother...who didn't know her name had a different pronunciation.....!! My Granma Tabby is gone now, and my cousin is all grown up....and we call her Tab!

Hi, My name is Tabitha as wel and i absolutly love my name.I am 12 years old and i am going to be 13 in march 25 !!!. My parents call me Tabby flower xxx My Friends all call me Tab's and sometimes Tabby ao Tabbycat. I have never met anyone with the'same name but i would very much like to!!! xxx

hey fellow tabby's my name is Tabatha and lots of people call me Tabby. i love my name and u should 2

My name is Tabatha Rose and im 28. I love my name, but when I was younger I wanted one more common. It took me awhile to appreciate the uniqueness of my name. I like Tabby and im often called tabs and tabbycat by friends as well. My husband calls me tabbers and my parents often dubbed me crabby tabby. Clever!

my name is Tabitha!!! I love this name!! I have met people who spell it with an e or an a. I think that having It'spelt with an I is better because if it is with an a it is like saying ta-bath-a it reminds me of taking a bath :) With an I it just spelt like is sounds. People call me Tabby cat, Tabs, Tabby, Tabffa or Taboo! ilove them all!! growing up people would alllllwwwwaaayyss ask me if i could twinkle my nose or call me samantha, i always thought it was funny! I am white and nobody has ever thought i was african american by my first name...its always been my last :) anyways i love my name!! i think it is the best name no matter how you spell it but Tabitha is the right way lol :) <3 Tabs

My name is Tabitha and I'm 14, I LOVE my name, Would not want any other name :) My mom got my name off of Bewitched lol

my daughters name is Tabitha. I got it from the bible Acts 9:36. I love her name as well.We both hate it when people try and call her Tabby. In high school kids called her Tab she would reply itha to finish her name.

my name is tabitha. i am 18 yers old and i love my name. when i was younger i hated it.... most people call me tabs or tabby. really whatever they make up. . . my name does come from the'show bewitched and the bible. ...tabitha means gazell

My name is Tabitha too. I get a lot of nicknames with it, but the most unique one is probably Tabby Doo. I'll be 14 in 4 days (january 4) so I'm still pretty young, and the kids like to tease me about my name. We had to do a research project about our names one time, and then read them in front of the class. I found out that Tabitha meant Dorcas in Greek, so I thought that was cool, but I got teased a lot 'cause of it. All in all, I like my name because It's unique, but I could do with out the teasing. i've never found anything with my name on it though. Like those keychains and stuff. Shout out to the Tabs!

I named my daughter Tabitha. She is 2 now. She was born December 19, 2018. We havent met any other Tabitha's. We have only heard of a few, all older than her of course. We got it out of the Bible. I like it and I hope she does too.

My name is Tabitha and often when I introduce myself, people tend to go "sorry! what's your name again?" or "that's a name i've never heard before!".. well it may be a little fustrating to have a name not many have as you either'stand out too much just because your name is unique or not many people call you because they find your name either too hard to pronounce or remember. but whatever the outcome is... i am happy to have such a cool name and I will not mind making this name'some sort of family name or something...

My mom named me Tabitha because it was a witches name... ha

I'm 26 and my name is Tabitha Elaine. I used to dislike it for some of the reasons above, (especially being asked if I can'twitch my nose!). But now that I'm older I love it! When people say Tabitha everyone knows they are taking about me, instead of saying Ashley and having 30 people answer!

My name is Tabatha also but it It'spelled different from other tabatha's. they do pronounce it wronge but it really doesnt bother me all that much. everybody at my school calls me tabby because they say that my name is too... long (lol)

My name is Tabitha. My mom didn't really choose my name after anyone, but she named my sisters and I names that ended with the letter 'a' and all of our names have three consanants. Samantha, Amanda, Tabitha, Cassondra and Erika. I am the middle child. I think my name is very cool, so I wouldn't want to change it. I haven't met alot of people with the name Tabitha, so I'm glad It's not very common from where I am from.

I love the name Tabitha. It is lovely to have an unusual name.

Hey my name is Tabatha of course...People call Tab, Tabby, Tabby cat, or also Tab's its common of course

hello im tabitha im 14 and yea have no idea why im on here. but i never met another tabitha before and i spell my nick name tabi ok im done.

My name is tabitha as well :) people call me tabby. tabby lynne. tabbi. tabby cat. tabutha, tubitha, tayy, tata, nd othe's....i love the name i used 2 hate it but sense i've grown up i love being unique nd i think it fits me well.

HI'my name is Tabitha aswell... Ive only ever met one other Tabitha in my lifetime and i was so exited :P sad I know but its just so weird to experience you know what I'mean. All of my friends know at least two other people in the class with their same name and they all say its really annoying because of the fact that they look every time someone says their name. I REALLY don't like being called 'Tab'. its just so not me.... I get Tabikat some times and my mum and dad call me 'Tabsy' but only they are allowed to call me that x] What really annoys me as well is that loads of people pronounce it wrong but most of the time its not their fault... take my german teacher for example, he'says it Tab-ee-tha and people take the mick but I know its not his fault.... French people have an EXTREMELY difficult time saying it.... my ski instuctor ended up calling me Tobey for the rest of my holiday after two days of of saying 'you...erm.... tabee.... oh it is too difficult for me' All in all I absolutely love my name and wouldn't change it for the world... no ody ever forgets it and i am unique in a school of 1000+ girls... Its amazing

My name is Tabetha... with an E! IM hispanic too... (Well half East timorse too - where they speak portuguese) and my family who dont speak english very well call me Tabita (Tab-Hee-Tah)! Yeh i get the Tabby, Tabby cat, Scabby, Flabby, Tab-Star, and my friends from youth group call me Tubby lol! But i love my name - its a little rare but thats what makes us all SPECIAL! I love how its in the bible too! YAY! Yes people usually spell it wrong - with an A!!! or I... i think its coz of my Australian accent... it really depends where the person is from, in australia they spell it with E coz the accent stresses the E but people from overseas spell it with an A and those from non speaking countries spell it with an I. Ive met a few other Tab_tha's but different spelling to me with an A or an I! Love you all... Tabetha is a great name! God bless, Tabz ~*XoXo*~

My name is tabitha and many people spell it tabatha. My nickname is Tabby and it dont bother me my name does come from the'shoe bewitched and the'sad part about it is my moms name is samantha

my name is tabbitha and almost annyonee that wrIt's it.. spells it 'tabatha' 'tabetha' or 'tabitha' and when i say two b's and an i.. they go.. 'tibbitha.' its frustrating but when'they get it right they compliment my names uniqness

I love my name my mom got if from the bible!! But a lot of spell it wrong!

yes my name is aaliyah and people say it wrong it is pro-nudoced Ali-yah

I'm 15 an called Tabitha, but most people call me tabby. I sometimes like it and sometimes don't but on the whole It's pretty individual and people remember me so I like it :)

My name is also Tabitha. I am now 30 and have met only a handful of Tabitha's in my lifetime. I was named after the'show Bewitched. I love my name! My nickname is Tab, never Tabby.

It's not my name, but I think It's a beautiful, old-fashioned name.

Hola my name is Awesome cuz im a "Tabitha". I used 2 hate it & now I luv it. My Mom named me after "The Good Witch" fits perfect I even have red hair like the disciple that's way cool. Thanks Mom It's suitable.

my name is tabitha my nickname is usually tabikat i have only met one other tabitha but I'm only 11 i dont know where my mom got tabitha from but i think (likeusuall) bewitched

My name is Tabitha. My dad named me and I'm 32 yrs old. He heard my name from the bible although he's not particularly religious. I like the biblical story of my name which translates to dorcas in hebrew. It gives me purpose to do good in the world. I think the name fits me and am happy to have it. Look it up on the net: Dorcas and read the'story.

My name is Tabitha, I really like it. Everyone calls me Tabby, or Tabby cat. Its really not very common, but I love it.

My Name is Tabitha and I love it! I will name my child a unique name as well.

My name is tabitha. I really dont like the name all that much. I was born in 98. I just turned 12 and n every1 thinks my name is weird but like every1 online just loves it!! I would love to learn more about the name. but no1 has the facts.. ??!! ;) My nicknames are : TabZiie , Litha (bcuz ya kno tab-ITHA) hah :) my moms fren calls meh tabbycat!!??.. hah My frens call me Tabi:)(:

I absolutely love the name Tabitha!! I named my Daughter Tabitha on March 10th 2021!! I had it picked out for years before I even got pregnant. I just knew she was a Tabitha when I'met her!

I love the name Tabitha. I am currently pregnant with my second child and if it is another girl I plan to call her Tabitha. I think it goes very nicely with my daughter's name, Ruby.

hey fellow tab's hahaha i am tabytha with a "Y". I'must say that we all have such a great name and we should all be proud..I'mean sure people often spell it wrong or say it wrong but I'much rather have our name then your plane old caitlin or sarah!!:)

Yep my names Haleigh, im 17. its amazing how many people mispell repeatedly because its just like ashleigh! But yea i do like it because i have never met anyone as yet with the'same spelling :)

Yepp, we aree awesomee ! My name is spelt Naomie, but I'm sill a Naomi ;) I LOVEE MY NAME, AND PROUD OF IT !

Well, I am met with a mixed reaction from most people. The most frequent occurrence that I deal with is listening to people mispronounce the name. Usually, with such an uncommon name, I encounter people who are perplexed by the fact that my name is not common, so I often encounter people who want to know my ethnicity. Generally, people tend to ask me this over the phone rather than in person. Not having a recognizable accent doesn't help matters much. All and All, I can say, like most people, I wish I had the last word when it came down to choosing my name.

You can find guys who are called EMMANUEL or Joseph-Emmanuel, etc. As a girl, I think that EMMANUEL is a cool sexy name (solid, biblical name). People usually spell it EMMANUEL or EMANUEL. In Spanish it is written MANUEL.

I love Tabitha because it is my name! But I don't like the nicknames and how people mispell it alot too. Even my dad wrIt's it Tabatha !

My sister's name is Tabitha. She gets a lot of niknames of Tabbycat, Tabsy, etc. We mainly call her Tabi. I think she likes her name.

Hello my name is Tabitha as you may already know. I absolutly LOVE my name. When I was younger(I'm 21 now)I use to want my name to be Kelly or Brittney, something common like that, but now I wouldnt want any other name. I feel great about my name just because my Dad named me and my two brothe's and he picked all three of them out of me Bible. I too get all the nicknames, like, Tabby, Tabs, TaTa, Tabby cat, my favorite is TABOO,(It's from my uncle)Anyway, strangers always ask me if I can wiggle my nose, and I always tell them "I wish." I get asked if my parents named me off of "Bewicthed," and they never beleave me that they did'nt. Of course no one knows that It's in the bible, that's my favorite part of having this name. To leave on a good note I think it is a pleasure to have this name. It's beautiful, unique, stands for something strong like a "Gazalle"

My name is Tabitha i like it and then again i dont! It reminds me of a witch and people associate me like that. My mom named me Tabitha because of the tv show Bewitched. Also the'soap Passions. lol Also everyone starts to call me Tab and it makes me feel like a computer button! Other than that i like it, its very unique. I only know one other person with my name!

HEYA!! my name is Tabetha too, i love that my name is spelt with an E. My parents call me Beth --> TA beth A, get it? my friends either call me tabs or tabby. I used to get called tabby cat too. I preffer my nem wit an E than an I or A, but everyone spells it wrong anf it makes me mad:( lol TABETHA ROCKS!!

I am a proud TabAtha. My name is spelled with an A because no-one knew how to spell it properly..oh well. I'm never called Tabatha..I'm Tabs, tabby, scabby, Tabbysack, and The Tab.

My name is Tabitha, I think it is a unique name... I don't know anyone with that name... but people do associate it with the Bewitched show... which is kinda funny cause I have a cousin named Samantha! People have always wanted to shorten it to Tabby... I don't particularly care for that... but overall I like my name!

It's always aomwsee to see folks using their blog to share and recommend talented business people in their area. As the former owner of six salons and spas, I am sure Tabitha loves and appreciates your recommendation!

Some people think It's my mother tongue name. Most people shortens it for Tabby,Tabbie or Tabbs.I like It'shortened

This is my daughters name, she is almost 4 months old, I just love it. We got it from that cute girl from "trading spaces" Paige Davis, but we just thought it was so beautiful, I hope she loves it as she gets older!

Lol my name is Tabitha and since i've always LOVED Bewitched (and witchy stuff in general) I think It's kinda fun my parents got my name from the'show! People always spelled it wrong as a kid and I was the only person I had ever met with the name until I'met a Tabatha in like tenth grade. I kinda pronounce all the alternate spellings different because they look weird to me. I LOVE ALL THE NICKNAMES SO MUCH THERE ARE A ZILLION except for the love of all that is good do not call me Terabithia lol

Of course I'm a Tabitha w/ a i and I am 17. I love my name! I don't run into a lot of people with my name. Most of my friends call me Tabi,Tab,Tabby-cat,Tabalina, and my boyfriend calls me Rabi which I think is so adorable,and sweet. My mother got my name from the T.V. show Bewitched (which Isn't too shocking) and I have been asked if I can wigle my nose and I just laugh. Overall, I think Tabitha is unique and very pretty. I love my name.

I can't beli've I found a site about this. I would have never beli'ved it if you would have told me when I was little. I am actually from Europe, my name is spelled Tabitha, and it was so hard to have this name as a child, it always made me feel like I am different, but in a special way.

My Name is Tabita (without H) and I'm the only person around with this name. I live in Germany, i just heard two times that'someone?s name is also Tabita - but just via television. As a child it was kind of hard (when'the teletubbies came on television) but today I actually like my name. Everyone knows who is meant when'they say Tabita. And when it comes, that I'meet new people everyone is impressed and says "Wow, that's a beautiful name" :)

My name is Tabitha , when I was younger I didn't like it now its ok. I always have to spell it though, and say It's tab"I"tha !!My nicknames are T, Tab, Tabby Paws, and Itha cause everyone would say Tab and I would say Itha so my close friends started calling me Itha

My name is Tabitha. I love it, I don't come across many people with the'same name. I get tabby and tabby cat which I don't like much. (only my uncle gets away with calling me that) Mostly I just get Tab. I'm always always being asked if my parents named me from bewitched. Or they crack jokes about me and bewitched. When I was younger I never liked the name much but now I love it and I'm glad my dad named me that.

YEP, You guessed it..My name Iis Apryl! And your not seeing things, it is spelled with a "Y"! But that's not what's unique about me... I was born February 26th 1985!! Whatcha think about that?

I named my daughter Tabitha! My name is Samantha, but I did not do it because of Bewitched. I just love the name. It is unique and elegant!

It's my name! it use to be difficult to find things with my name on it but these days It's more common (I'm 27). I was often asked if I could twinkle my nose and make majic happen (Bewitched). Tabitha is also in The Bible (Act 9:11)! i've met very few other Tabitha's. Some people spell it wrong like tabAtha like I'm constantly taking a bath or something. I'm Hispanic so they have trouble pronouncing it, it usually comes out Tha-Bee-Tha or Taa-Baaa-taa., I tell them now my name is Tabi and in turn the call me Gaby??? Many people ask me if I was named after the witch, many people call me Samantha and my teache's or subs had trouble saying my name.., Oh lots of people think I am african american!

My mother opted to spell my name Tabatha instead of the more common Tabitha, but i've also seen It'spelt Tabetha. I like my name alot. It's not too common, good nicknames come of it, and I get complimented on it all the time!

Well I have this name the u up side is that not many people have the'spelling of it. The down side is that you ddont find it on many name tags and keychains unless they are customly made

My daughter's name is Tabitha. She's 4 and we just loved the name. We call her Tabs, Tabsy, Tabby or most often'tabby Tallulah. I don't know why! It often gets shortened to Lulah. We like unusual names so our other children are named Dulcie and Hugo.

my name is Tabetha, I love my name because It's different and I always get comments on it about how unique it is. I have so many nicknames but tab seems to be the most used. I always get asked if I am named after'somebody or if I am related to the bewitche'show and if I can'twitch my noise, I just laugh. and People call me samantha a lot.

I love my name. But everyone always associates it with the'sitcom "Bewitched." That or the Tabitha from the Bible. Tabitha is Dorcus in Greek, you see. It means "gazelle"...

my cat name is Tabatha. I gave it to her 3 years ago.

I am called Tabitha myself I love the Tabitha I have a little girl and I called her Tabitha too!

This name is lame. It is a crappy town in NJ. OK for a boy but nbno way for a girl

People say or spell my name wrong more than they do it right. I often get called Samantha as well, which I think is due to the television show Bewitched (considering she was Tabitha's mother). I hate it that people automatically refer to me as "Tabby" or "Tabby Cat". Just stick to the basics. Most people do not understand that it is offensive when'they do not spell/say names properly, but would you like to be called John if your name is Joan?

Oddly Enough Im a Tabitha also...pronounced ta-BYE-tha..a family name of the Riehle family...the fathe's names one of their daughters this each generation....German origin from the Bible

My name is Tabitha...and I really like it. However people do comment on the fact that one of the characters in the famous 1972/70 American comedy Bewitched is also called Tabitha. My mother told me all my life i wasnt named after that character but when i was 16 i found my baby book and inside It'said that i was!!! Lol!! My friends call me Tabz or Tabisca. Ive also been called Tabeetha before. Ive not had anyone which has called me something nasty which rhymes or goes with Tabitha, so thats quite good!

I spell my name with an 'e' like this: Tabetha so people often get it confused and say: TAb-Etha. It's really weird. I'm the only person I know that'spells the name w/ an 'E' instead of an I or A. i've met othters with my name but they all spell it the'so-called "normal" way.

My name is Tabitha as well and i constantly get asked if i watched the'show Bewitched. And whenever'someone spells my name its spelled Tabatha or some how they incorporate an I and an e in there. I dont know. I just wanna yell "SOUND IT OUT!" But other than that I love my name because it is unique and I dont know anyone else with it. I as well go by Tabbi for short (I added the extra 'b' just to make it harder on people, haha thats always fun).

My name is Tabitha, and like othe's have said, its prone to having *lots* of nicknames. In high school I had over a dozen nicknames, but now I usually go by "Tab" which no one can ever hear right >< they think I say "Tap" or "Pam" which is odd.

OH MY GOD! I'm sooooo jealous of all you Tabs! It's one of the most beautiful female names ever. It's spunky on a little girl, graceful on a teen, and perfect for an old woman. I f-cking love it. My first daughter will be called Tabitha Violet :)

We named our daughter (Feb 2014) Quinn Daphne. Sometimes people think we say Gwen, so I usually really try to emphasize the "Qu" when people ask her name. My first experience out of the hospital with her was not a good one. She had to go to the doctor for a check up the day after we left the hospital. When'the nurse came to call her back, she'said, "Kwan?" Obviously, we didn't get up, even'though we were the only ones in the waiting room. Then'the nurse said, "Kwan? Is that him?" We looked at our daughter, wearing a pink outfit and covered in a pink blanket and said, "This is Quinn, are you looking for HER?" Under her breath, she muttered, "that does not spell Quinn." Other than that one instance, we've had a great experience, and get tons of compliments. Her nickname is Kenzo.

My name is Tabetha, and i love it. It makes me feel different. I have never met another person who spelled it the'same. Lots of people ask me if I was named after the girl on bewitched, but I was not. When I was young my mother called me Beth, but I never really responded to it. Some of my friends call me Tab or Tabby, but I don't really like that. My name is Tabetha, with an E. And I love it

my name is Tabatha.I think It'sounds different with a "i".but im kool with a "k".My mama gave me that name.

yep, I'm a jaclyn too :) everyone pronounces it either like Jack-a-lyn or jocelyn.. which i hate lol

I am so proud of my name Tabitha Rose (i know kinda girly trust me i didnt tell n e one my middle name til high school). I often'think if i had a choice in picking my own name what would I choose ???? Nothing really suits me more than Tabitha Rose :) we have something so unique and special :) It'seems like alot of u are younger than me I'm Turing 31 so i've had the name for a while and I know It'sounds crazy but I just started looking into our name in a biblical sense and I bet u all would find alot of amazing traits that would relate to yourself in some way! it hit me hard everything that they said about this amazing woman I could relate to:) Kind, humourous, a leader, intelligent, beautiful and full of energy and quick ( like a gazelle haha). One prob is its easy to get into trouble cause we tend to be adventurous, spontaneous , and a little unpredictable but that's how we like it right :))) we just have to be careful cause our name kinda sticks out haha. Only thing now is how do we find cooler names for our kids.

I named my daughter Tabitha. There isnt anyone we know with the name and it was meant specially for her. We love to call her Tabby. It is so different since the other Tabitha's in the world hate that nickname. She is a toddler and can pronounce her nick name.

It is my name and I love it...coz it is in the Bible. It is a unique and rare name. Most of my frenz call me TABU, the othe's TAB, and also TABI. People often pronounce and spell it wrong. The correct spelling is TABITHA and the correct pronunciation is TA-BEE-THA. I have not yet met anybody with this name, but have heard of some who own this name.

My wife and I named our 1st dtr, Tabitha and then we decided on Gabreille as the 2nd dtrs. name but after delivery my wife changed her mind and we now are the Bewich family my 2nd dtr being named samantha .... if the next one is a boy it will be darrin

hI'my names is tabitha an i hate to admit it but i hate my name. is sounds like it would be for a smart girl or a goody goody no offense but only certain pople can pull this name off an its not me!

I'm Tabatha! I really like my name. i go by atol of nick names though like, Tab and Tabby. Alot of people when'they first meet me think that my name is Tabitha not Tabatha. and it bugs me alot.

My daughter is 7 and called Tabitha. We call her Tabby cat! We chose from bewitched and Jilly Coopers book Riders.

My name is Tabitha and it comes from the BIBLE.It means "HER LIFE".

my name is Tabitha, and I find that'some people are not able to pronounce it but sometimes they get it. i only know one other person the'same name. its great! i love my name!!

My name is Tabitha...most people pronounce it like there is an A instead of an I lol but it gets on my nerves. I looked my name up an i found that it mean gazelle an i was like dang my parents have all these different names for my brothe's and sisters that mean gods gift from above an wat not. but i have come to except that gazelles are beautiful animals, and im a beautiful person. I get asked most often if my parents liked the'show bewitched but they actually didnt lol.. i spell my nickname different from most othe's i spell mine.. TABBIE.It'shows my individuality a little but i really love my name an could never picture myself being a courtney or brittany or anything like that...my name just fits me so well..!!!

I am Tabitha. i've only seen It'spelled with "a" once and never with "e". Personally like the "i" because the way i pronounce it is NOT tabatha. It's tabitha. ya know? some call me tabbi cat. my parents were big on full names so It's pretty split between'tab and tabitha. (i don't particularly like the name tabby). i LOVE my name b/c It's pretty but different. i always get compliments.

I have adored this name ever'since I was a little girl reading Beatrix Potter's "The Tale of Tom Kitten". If I ever have a girl, her name will be Tabitha. A cute and beautiful name; I hope it never becomes too popular so that it remains special.

My names spelt Tabatha, i wonder if the meaning is different? I didn't know it was popular!! Alot of people spell my name tabitha or Tabather or something stupid like that hah hah !! Its cool to have an unusual name!! It'sounds kinda magicy and gothy in a way cool!

My name is also Tabitha which is a very unusual name for a black woman. I often hang out with my "T" crew. Tamika, Tanika, Tanisha, Tanita, and Tabitha. I like being the one with the unusual name. People remember it.
