israeli baby names

Thanks so much for the kind words! My favourite boy’s name is Levi which I’m told is very ‘Jewish’.

We also try not to change the name too much. Everyone mispronounces my name or inquires about its origin.

One more question, please: how do you pronounce “Moshe?” Some I know say “Mo-sheh” and others Moishe as in “Moy-shee.” They both mean “Moses” so is there a difference?

Can you recommend some current Hebrew names that we should consider? We know you will agree that these Israeli Baby Names are just what you have been looking for.

Don’t know any boys named Anat, though.

I have a sister (41) named Leora…my dad named her.

I’m particularly interested in the unisex list – is there any controversy over using them? From the ones you listed, I like Alma and Shira a lot.

According to the Population and Immigrant Authority’s report, there were approximately 166,450 births and 23,770 new immigrants this year.

Boaz means “Daring is in him.” Sometimes it is more of a nickname but not always easy to tell (like in Gali).

Thanks! 4. IrisRose: , Aviva, Miriam both old-fashioned. There are differences among the various Jewish communities in Israel, with some names found only in secular communities and others only in religious ones. Li, for me.

Our compromise name (that we both fell in love with) as Aria Mayiam for our daughter. Israel’s population is growing–it’s at around 8.7 million people this year. So happy to see our friends’ little girl Vered on the list! It is also a Hebrew boy’s name meaning “first born son, flourishing, long-lived, eloquent and gifted speaker.”, 6. Esther. As a rule, Israelis like slightly unusual names but avoid completely unique or made-up ones, not wanting other children to make fun of their child’s name. Yosefa, you’re right that many religious couples don’t give middle names.

What does that name mean?

2. Tonivit–Judah is an anglicized version of Yehuda, which is a biblical name popular mainly in religious circles. Noa is a Hebrew girl’s name meaning “movement.” Noa was one of the five daughters of Zelophehad.

We’re not Jewish or have any connections to Israel; a friend had suggested the name and we simply really liked it.

American Jews seem to like it. She gave her children very Anglican names to avoid such a fate.

We really like Liam, but it is WAY too popular in the U.S. for our tastes. 9.

Miriam is a Hebrew girl’s name that means “rising water.” Miriam, the sister of Moses and Aaron, led the Israelite women in dance after crossing the Sea of Reeds.

Hi Caz!

The Book of Daniel (in the Bible) tells his life story. Adam.

I agree with everyone else–this is a fabulous post!!! My Grandfather married by English grandmother and they brought my mum and her sister as Jewish. From what I have hear, Aria isn’t really known as a girl’s name in Israel.

Rain: Matar, Usually boys as far as I can tell. Lately I have met 2 baby-girls Narkiss-but no boy by this name. To name a few, Aviva, Miriam, Ayelet, Liora, Mayim, and Tamar… any of those current? Hi Tori,

Some names on my Jewish side of the family are; Miriam, Levi, Daniel, Sarah, Malachi and they are all currenly in Jurelasm. Talia. There are many Hebrew baby names that never go out of fashion, like Abigail and David. A list of the top ten most popular baby names in Israel for the past year.

Correction: Anat has different meanings in different cultures. I do like the name, but our last name is Cohen and I wonder if it just is strange to have a Levi Cohen.

But with all those babies being born, what are the most common Jewish baby names in the past year?

My Grandfather moved over to the UK with his parents and aunt and uncle when the opression against the Jews was starting to get ‘intense’ but some of his family remained in Germany and consequently died. Hi A-M, Nameluvr: Yes, Libi has become a real name. Nowadays many girls and boys are named Ziv, also means light.

In our dry country clouds and rain are welcome.

Ahh!

Great post! I think it would be confusing for Israelis. You mentioned thar “secular Israelis don’t usually give middle names, while religious ones do” – Is there any reason for this to happen? I have a couple questions — you mentioned nature names, are there any names that mean “rain” or “cloud”? It’s such a stunning name imo. It’s done in Israel too, but with modern Hebrew names replacing old-fashioned ones.

10. Yael.

She isn’t a fan of her name so she goes by Lori but I love it! David. I have friends in Isreal

Hope you can help me!

I found an answer to this question by rabbi who says that the Hebrew meaning is from the word Anah, answered (as in God answered a prayer). Nameluvr: Tal, which means dew, is also unisex and pretty popular.

In Judaism/Hebrew, it means “to sing”/”singer.” We do not name our children after gods and goddesses. In fact, only last week my kids told me that Li wasn’t a real name, that we just “made it up”.

Below are a few popular Hebrew names for girls to get you started.

Shoval is the tail of a comet. Yiddish and other ethnic names are out, as are the feminization of biblical names like Israela, Raphaela and Shimona or Simona–though Gavriella is one that is coming back.

Israel’s population is growing–it’s at around 8.7 million people this year.

As for Moshe, it’s too complicated for a comment but there are a few ways to pronounce Hebrew. My other children are Shoshana, Jonah, and Ezra. Nice names, Tori. This represents a trend toward choosing names that easily translate into English. Oooh, I love this! I also understand that Mayim is also a rare girl’s name.

Yahel, related to Hila, meaning it will light. I adore the name Avital! Those are all popular, Liat is perhaps on its way out although my daughter has one in her class. Hannah will be happy to answer any questions you have in the comments. It’s very common here.

One of our midwives was surprised, as she’s Israeli and had never heard the name used here (we’re in Canada). (She’s 13 months now, but I am still addicted to nameberry–names are so interesting!).

E’s are short as in bed.

There’s a very strong tradition of naming after living or dead grandparents, depending on the country. Many people, especially in religious circles, are called by both their first and middle names. How do you pronounce Ya’el?

Leah is a Hebrew girl’s name meaning “delicate.” In the Bible, Leah was one of Jacob’s wives.

Anything other insights you can provide into our little girl’s name?

In ancient Israel, the language of the people was Hebrew. I once met an Israeli girl named Anat. I am pretty sure there are a few out there but I don’t know of any.

If/when I have children it is known that they will have Jewish names too. I have an Israeli friend named Zohar, which I think is nice.

So, I like Hebrew names that go well in the U.S. We have a Hebrew Baby Name book, but it was published back in the mid 1980’s so I feel like anything in would be somewhat dated as to what is possibly in or fresh.
