Mehitabel

Mehitabel is an old traditional name usually given to babies of Hebrew origin. The meaning of Mehitabel is 'god rejoices' or 'god's joy'. Mehitabel is also believed to be the variant of the Old Testament name Mehitable, which means 'god benefits'. The name is pronounced as 'mi-hit-a-behl' and could also be written as 'Mehetabel'. Mehitabel is an uncommon name for a child, especially in recent times, perhaps because of its mildly complicated spelling and its difficult pronunciation. Historically, the name was most popular in New England colonies during the British colonial period, as many protestants gave their babies names from the Old Testament. Mehitabel gained a little more popularity after it was the name of one of the characters in Don Marquis' newspaper column titled 'Archy and Mehitabel'. Although rarely used in modern times, it is a symbolic choice of name for Christian or Jewish parents who like the uniqueness of Old Testament names. Mehitabel is considered to mirror the personality of its bearer; they are deemed delightful people who do their best to help people around them.
