Debbra
Meaning of Debbra
Debbra, a phonetic spin on the Hebrew Deborah—literally “bee”—emerged in American birth registers in the late 1940s and carried a distinctive double-b that underscored its mid-century appeal. Pronounced DEB-ruh (/ˈdɛbrə/), the name registers occasional echoes in Latin cultures through its parallel with the Spanish Débora, even as it retains a distinctly Anglophone identity. California data chart steady usage from 1948 (five newborns, rank 245) through 1971 (five newborns, rank 305), peaking in the mid-1950s with 36 births in 1956 (rank 260) before a gradual decline. Debbra’s trajectory illustrates postwar naming currents, marrying biblical heritage with a crisp, modern phonetic twist.
