The name Bethany is derived from the Hebrew word “beit-aniya,” which means “house of affliction” or “house of figs.” This biblical connection gives the name Bethany a sense of spiritual significance and symbolizes faith, friendship, and hospitality.

Bethany is recorded in the New Testament as a small village in Judaea, the home of the siblings Mary of Bethany, Martha, and Lazarus, as well as that of Simon the Leper.

Bethany was the place where Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead (John 11:1, 41–44), it was the home of Simon the leper (Mark 14:3–10), and it was the place where Mary anointed Jesus’ feet with perfume (Matthew 26:6–13).
