Tabitha is an Aramaic name that means "gazelle"; in the Acts of the Apostles she is the charitable woman of Joppa, also called Dorcas, whom Peter raises from the dead. The little witch Tabitha on the sitcom Bewitched made it a favorite of the late 1960s and 1970s. Tabitha stood at number 319 in 2000, dropped out of the top 1000 in 2017 and has settled near number 1500 before edging up to number 1308 in 2025.
