"Variant of Bethsaida"
The name Betsaida is commonly a female name from the "Hebrew" origin.
Betsaida is the Spanish and Portuguese form of Bethsaida, the name of a village on the Sea of Galilee that appears in the New Testament, and it is used as a given name in Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking communities. The underlying place name is Aramaic, conventionally explained as 'house of fishing' or 'house of the hunt', though the exact sense is disputed.
Bethsaida means "Merciful".
The pronunciation of Betsaida is bet-SAY-dah.
