It's the feminine of Tsbiy from the word 'tsabah' which has the meanings 'prominence; splendor; gazelle, roe; goodly, pleasant'

tsabahty means beautiful, tsabahry means glorious

Most often the name is given with the gazelle and the beauty of the animal in mind, particularly in the modern era, though nature names have always been prominent in Hebrew.
