Deep breath..(from google)

The meaning of the Hebrew form of the name "Bathsheba" is not clear, and may be from Hittite, a Canaanite/Indo-European language. The second part of the name appears in 1 Chronicles 3:5 as "shua" (compare Genesis 37:2).

Bathsheba was the daughter of Eliam (2 Samuel 11:3, who is called Ammiel in 1 Chronicles 3:5). Her father is identified by some scholars with Eliam mentioned in 2 Samuel 23:34 as the son of Ahithophel, who is described as the Gilonite. (See King David's Warriors.)

Bathsheba was the wife of Uriah the Hittite, and afterward of David, by whom she gave birth to Solomon, who succeeded David as king of the United Kingdom of Israel and Judah.

Whatever the explanation, its missing a Jolly Roger...

*Doesn't know whether admitting that he had to google Bathsheba Everdene is grounds for embarrassment*
