Beth is a girl’s name of Hebrew roots, meaning “house.” A sweet short form of Elizabeth, meaning "God is an oath," and Bethany, meaning "house of suffering," Beth holds just as much weight on its own. Short-form Beth made her first appearance as one of the heroines of Louisa May Alcott’s 19th-century novel, Little Women. Known for her musical abilities and sweet nature, Beth March sets the standard for all who follow her lead. With a name like this, there’s no question that loving baby Beth will transform your house into a home.
