Batya is from the Hebrew Batyāh (בִּתְיָה — daughter of God). A modern American baby name in the broader Hebrew-Jewish heritage aesthetic. Batya (Bithiah) is the foundational Pharaoh's daughter who adopted the infant Moses after rescuing him from the Nile (Exodus 2:5-10) — central to the foundational Israelite Exodus narrative + foundational Jewish + Christian + Islamic veneration. According to 1 Chronicles 4:18 + foundational Talmudic + Midrashic tradition (Megillah 13a) — she received her name bat-Yah (daughter of God) from God Himself as reward for her foundational compassion + conversion to monotheism. Foundational figure in Jewish + early Christian Egyptology + foundational symbol of righteous conversion (Asenath of conversion). Foundational Hebrew feminine name reflecting Jewish biblical heritage.

Batya 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.
