Bashemath (בָּשְׂמַת) is the Hebrew word for "fragrant" or "perfumed" — from besem (spice). In Genesis 26:34, Bashemath was the Hittite daughter of Elon whom Esau married.
Rare but iconic in biblical scholarship.
Bashemath does not currently appear in the US Social Security Administration's top 1,000 girls' names, so we don't publish a US rank or birth count for it. That says nothing about the name's standing elsewhere in the world — only that it sits outside the ranked US data we rely on.
In Pythagorean numerology the letters of Bashemath reduce to 5, The Seeker. This is a traditional interpretive system, not a factual claim about the name.
