Nobody wants their children to have boring names. Unique and fun names can add a definite charm to a child’s personality. And when you’re looking for a unique name, what better than looking into the treasure trove of Aramaic baby names? Aramaic, also known as Assyrian, is a form of Jewish language spoken widely by two million people of the Assyrian diaspora spread across the Middle East and North Africa. The Assyrians were a group of people who first spoke and wrote in Akkadian, but later switched to the more convenient Aramaic language. Tiglath Pileser III made Aramaic the primary language of the empire instead of Akkadian, and Aramaic continued to be used as a written language (1). The Aramaic baby names are primarily based on the religious context because of the presence of different religious communities. Originally, Assyrian names consisted of a first name and a patronymic name. But Assyrians have now begun using surnames. Interestingly, the surnames used now were the first names of grandparents who signed the surname laws in the 1920s. This is why many Aramaic last names are also used as first names. Bart is a popular name from the Aramaic language and means 'son of Tolmai' or 'son of the one who abounds in furrows'. Gethsemane, on the other hand, is a unisex name that means 'estate of an olive tree'. It's a biblical name that's associated with the Garden of Gethsemane, where Jesus prayed before his crucifixion. Xiomara is a girl's name that has a unique meaning. It's a variation of the name Xiamara which means 'joyful deer.' The Assyrians also shortened the personal names to just a few syllables for the nickname. Browse through our collection of Aramaic baby names with meanings below.
