Biztha (personal name, Persian eunuch of Ahasuerus)
A Persian personal name belonging to one of the seven eunuchs serving King Ahasuerus in Esther. Like Bigtha, this eunuch was commanded to bring Queen Vashti before the king's banquet. The Persian etymology may relate to "bound" or "eunuch," though the exact derivation is uncertain. The name contributes to the authentic Persian atmosphere of the Esther narrative, where eunuchs played significant roles in palace administration and service.
