Choosing a Hebrew Name

In Jewish tradition, a name carries deep significance. The Hebrew name (shem hakodesh) is used during Torah readings, prayer, and lifecycle events. Many families choose names that honor deceased relatives, connect to biblical figures, or express hopes for their child's future.

Ashkenazi Jews traditionally name children after deceased relatives, while Sephardic Jews may name after living grandparents. Modern Israeli families often choose names inspired by nature, biblical history, or contemporary Hebrew culture.

Whether you're looking for a traditional biblical name, a modern Israeli name, or something in between, our directory includes hundreds of options with their Hebrew spellings, meanings, and origins to help you find the perfect name for your child.
