The name Deborah means "honey bee". The origin is the Hebrew 'D'vorah'. Deborah was the name of a judge prominent in the Tanach (Jewish Bible) and, therefore, also in the Old Testament of the Christian Bible where her name is first mentioned in the book of Judges. She is the only person in Jewish history to be both a prophet and judge. In addition to being a judge and a prophetess, she was also a war hero in the war against Jabin, King of Canaan (Judges 4:4). She convinced Barak to lead the war to victory after which she wrote a song to honor him and the victory. That song is currently in The Bible in the book of Judges.
Another Deborah is also briefly mentioned in Genesis 35:8. She was the "nurse" of Rebekah.
Over the centuries, the name Deborah has been one of the more popular names for girls and has been appreciated for its association with the hard work, persistence, and importance to society for which bees are known.
Historically, D'vorah has been a popular name for Jewish girls because of the attributes of the biblical D'vorah. Over time, the name became Anglicized to the current form "Deborah" and became popular with other groups too.
