Hebrew; the first language of the holy Bible is widely used by Jews and Christians. Jewish too, like other traditions, have guidelines to choose a meaningful name for the babies. Moreover, the focus is that a child's name should be significant in forming her identity.
Being a parent of a Jewish kid in America, many of them want to give two names to their kids; a Jewish and an English name.
Interestingly, Jews do not name their babies inspired by names of living people. Most communities of Ashkenazic Jews follow this practice.
Even if they keep names after relatives, there can be twists that are significant for other reasons. For example, you can choose a name that is connected to the time of year that your baby is born, especially if your child is born on or near a Jewish holiday.
Here are some interesting names with meanings that you can browse and select the best name for your little girl.
