My oath
Bassy is a diminutive form of Basya or Batya, which are Hebrew names meaning 'daughter of God'. In some contexts, it also serves as a rare Yiddish nickname for Elizabeth, inheriting the meaning 'God is my oath'. It is distinct from the musical term, though it shares the same phonetic sound.
