Bathshua Bathshua

The name Bathshuah occurs twice in the Bible, and both times as a secondary designation. The first Bathshuah is the same as the 'daughter of Shuah' and wife of Judah as mentioned in Gen 38:2 and 12. The other Bathshuah (1 Chr 3:5) is in fact Bathsheba, the wife of Uriah and later David.

The name Bathshua consists of two elements. The first element is the word bat (bat 254b), which means daughter. It comes from the word ben (ben 254), which means son in all kinds of ways and applications (son, cousin, member of group). Other names that are formed with the word ben or bat: Benjamin, Ben-oni, and Bathsheba.

The second element of the name Bathshua is Shuah, which is the name Shuah. The meaning of the name Shuah is unclear, but it may be A Cry, Riches/Opulence or Nobility, either from the verb Shuah (shawa 2348), cry out (for help), or the verb yasha (yasha 929), be saved (the same verb that gives rise to name such as Joshua, Hosea and Isaiah).

Bathshua means Daughter Of Opulence/ Nobility.
