Tzvi'and Tzvia and Shlomo and
Shlomit.
Many Israelis name their
children after one of the 12
tribes of Israel: Dan; Benjamin,
Reuben, Gad, Simeon, Menashe,
Judah, Zebulun, Naphtali,
Asher, Issachar and Ephraim.
We did some research and
came up with some common,
some uncommon Hebrew and
Yiddish names. But before we
list them, the reader should
understand that the list is in
exhaustible, and we make no
claims of picking all the names:
Ben Zion Son of Zion
Benjamin son of the right hand
Nathan He gave
Levi joined
Laban white
Zic^ia daughter of Zion
Ezra a helper
Boaz ....strength and swiftness
Ethan strength and power
Alma maiden, fair
Ann gracious, merciful
Bathsheba daughter of an oath
Delilah delicate, poor
'Dina she who is judged
Eva a mother of life
Hephzibah my delight
Mindel ....comforter (Yiddish)
Salome peaceful
Judith ;she who praises, same
for Judy
Jesse wealthy gift
Ruth a friend, beloved
Joseph he will add
Simeon hear
Chayim life
Ephraim ... fruitful, same for
Efraim
Abba and Abraham father
Ittamar island of palm
Riva maiden
Jethro riches
Menachem comforts
Naphtali struggled
Kalman merciful
Aviva spring
Davida love
Hanna grace
Tova goodly
Naomi sweet
"fhere are many who name
their children after the Pro
phets who gave us a moral way
to live as a people for thou
sands of years. Here are some:
Joshua, Samuel, Isaiah, Jere
miah. Ezekiel. Hosea, Nahum,
Joel, A Mos, Obadiah, Haggai.
Jonah, Zachariah and Micah.
Also from the Bible: Ruth,
Esther. Daniel, Nehemiah and
Ezra; Rebecca, a snare; Aaron,
a mountain; Saul, asked of the
Lord; Israel, contented with
God.
Even in this article we have
given you about 100 names.
But there are many more He
brew names which are beauti
ful and significant. We can
suggest an excellent book,
“What’s Your Name,” a dic
tionary of names compiled by
Solomon Coldner and pub
lished by Bloch Publishing
Co. Moreover, if you need help
on a name to give to a child,
“one should be named after
somebody or something, else a
name is really only an empty
breath.”
