Batsheva is from the Hebrew bat (daughter) + sheva (oath/seven) — daughter of the oath. A modern American baby name in the broader Hebrew heritage aesthetic. Bathsheba (c. 1000 BCE) was the foundational biblical wife of King David and mother of King Solomon (2 Samuel 11-12, 1 Kings 1-2) — one of the foundational queen mothers in biblical history. Subject of Rembrandt's foundational Bathsheba at Her Bath (1654, Louvre) — widely considered one of the foundational nude paintings of Western art. The foundational Batsheva Dance Company (founded 1964 by Bethsabée de Rothschild and Martha Graham) is widely considered Israel's foundational contemporary dance company — led by Ohad Naharin since 1990. Foundational figure in modern Israeli cultural identity.

Batsheva does not currently appear in the US Social Security Administration's top 1,000 girls' names, so we don't publish a US rank or birth count for it. That says nothing about the name's standing elsewhere in the world — only that it sits outside the ranked US data we rely on.

In Pythagorean numerology the letters of Batsheva reduce to 6, The Nurturer. This is a traditional interpretive system, not a factual claim about the name.
