The name "Bi'tsion" (Betzy, Betsu) is a masculine Jewish name deeply connected to biblical tradition and possessing a solar, bright connotation. Its root traces back to the ancient Hebrew word "bita" (בת), meaning "daughter" or "maiden," but etymologically, the name Bi'tsion derives from the biblical term "bit" (בת), which signified "daughter" in a broader sense, often with a nuance of "daughter of the sun" or "daughter of light." According to its biblical origin, the name Bi'tsion (Betzy) was given to Avvahu—son of Kenan, one of Joseph's sons (as mentioned in Exodus, Chapter 46, Verse 21). In Russian, the name Bi'tsion most commonly translates to "Sun's Daughter" or "Daughter of Light," endowing the name with a unique strength and positive energy. The name Bi'tsion is widely used in Israel and the former Soviet Union, particularly among the Jewish diaspora. In Russia, it gained recognition during the 19th century when the Jewish community sought integration into Russian society while preserving their cultural and identity roots.
