Kavira

The name **Havra** (female) has deep Jewish roots and is associated with mythological and historical figures. It originates from the ancient Hebrew name **Betḥavva**, which can be translated as "House of Darkness" or "Dark House."

According to the myth, when Ionava was held captive by the pharaoh, his daughter convinced the king to release her father, and then saved him from being killed by the pharaoh. For this, Betḥavva was executed, but she was later saved through the prayers of Moses. The name **Havra** (Havra) appears in the Bible (as **Betḥavva**) and in early Christian literature. In Slavic languages, the name was adapted as **Havra**, **Havra**.
