Names are of paramount importance to the Jewish community. Right from the Brit Mila or the naming ceremony to the death, the name will identify them in their community. A Jew is given two names, a Jewish name and a secular name. The Hebrew name is used for Jewish rituals and prayers, where it’s usually followed by the name of the parents. And the secular name is used in day-to-day life. The meaning and numerology of the names are also considered significant.
