Wikipedia
Tabitha, also commonly spelled as Tabetha, or Tabatha, is an English language feminine given name, derived from an Aramaic word טביתא ṭabītā that means gazelle. Cf. Hebrew צְבִיָּה (Tsbiyah). It is a biblical name from Acts 9:36, which in the original Greek was Ταβιθά, in which Tabitha ( Dorcas in Greek) is a woman raised from the dead by Saint Peter. Other alternate spellings include Tabytha, Tabahta, Tabathina and Tabea. Nicknames include Tab, Tabbi, Tabby, Tibby and Tabs.
The name was common in 18th century New England, and of those born between 1718 and 1745, ranked about 31st as most common female given names, about 0.56% of the population. The name gained a resurgence in the United States in the 1970s and 1980s, when it was ranked among the 200 most popular names for girls. The character Tabitha Stephens, a child witch on the 1960s television situation comedy Bewitched, raised the profile of the name. It has since declined in popularity. In 2009 it was the 647th most popular name for girls in the United States. The name was the 209th most popular name for girls in England and Wales in 2007.
Tabitha is rare as a surname.
Tabitha is an American fantasy sitcom that aired during the 1977–1978 season on ABC. It is a spin-off of Bewitched, which had ended its run five years earlier in 1972. The series starred Lisa Hartman in the title role as Tabitha, Samantha and Darrin Stephens' daughter who was introduced on Bewitched during its second season.
In the series, Tabitha is portrayed as a 20-something production assistant living and working in Los Angeles. The supporting cast includes David Ankrum as Tabitha's brother, Adam, with whom she works, Robert Urich as an egomaniacal talk show host who is a sometime love interest for Tabitha, and Mel Stewart as Tabitha and Adam’s cranky, but loveable, boss. Unlike Bewitched, which was a hit for ABC and aired for eight seasons, Tabitha failed to catch on with viewers and was canceled after one season.
