Around the world, Jefta (Jefta 
) is quite a rare principally male, but scarcely female forename. The given name Jefta is characteristic of Sub-Saharan Africa, particularly Namibia, where it is quite a rare masculine name, Tanzania, and Zimbabwe, where it is a rare boy's name. Not in comparison with a country's population, it is the most numerous in Indonesia, Tanzania, and Zimbabwe. Very seldom, Jefta is the last name as well as the forename.
Jefta is also a name from the Bible. Explore more in our Biblical names portal!
