462 Elegant Hebrew Girl Names Starting With A

Hebrew girl names starting with A stem from Jewish traditions and often carry biblical significance. These names, rooted in biblical Hebrew, are primarily used by Jewish families worldwide, from Israel to diaspora populations across the globe. In recent times, however, they have also gained popularity among non-Jewish parents attracted to their phonetic qualities and positive meanings.

Names beginning with A are popular, as they often appear first in alphabetical listings. This prominence can significantly appeal to parents who want their daughter's name to stand out. For baby girls in Jewish families, the chosen name is typically conferred during the first Torah reading shortly after birth, in a ceremony called the Brit ha Bat. There are no strict rules for selecting a name, but many families often follow cultural patterns that reflect their heritage. While Ashkenazic Jews may name children after deceased relatives, Sephardic Jews often honor living relatives (1).

Here are some beautiful Hebrew girl names that start with A. As you browse through this list, consider the meaning behind each name and how it might reflect your hopes for your daughter's future.
