Jewish girl names are backed by the rich history, culture and traditions of an ancient nation. Judaism is an Abrahamic religion that the ancient Hebrews practiced. Judaism is an intricate and complex religion that lists out the theology, law, and innumerable cultural traditions that must be followed by people belonging to this faith. Jewish names are phonetically pleasing and usually possess profound meanings. The names traditionally adopted by people of this religion have a strong religious association. They may sometimes also be associated with elements of nature, social construct, and traditions followed by the people. Judaism is believed to have been the religion of the ancient Israelites (1). This religion has had a profound influence on the naming system of the followers. Israeli Jews have usually been observed to name their children after people in their immediate family. The naming system comprises a personal name followed by a surname. Jews in different parts of the world possess slightly different naming customs. For example, Sephardi or Mizrahi Jews, who are essentially Spanish Jews, name the family's eldest son after the paternal grandfather and the eldest daughter after the paternal grandmother. In numerous cases, Jewish names are inspired by the names and figures in Jewish texts. Some of the potential Jewish names that can be assigned to your little angel include names such as Abriana, which is a female variant of Abraham that means ‘father of a multitude,’ Hudes meaning ‘One who is praised by everyone,’ Khama meaning ‘Embodiment of Forgiveness’ and Lanette meaning ‘Fair, good looking woman.’ Jewish names are unique and a wonderful category of names to choose from. Read through our extensive list of names compiled for your understanding of the name and its meaning. Do not forget to save intriguing names for future reference.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How do Jews name a baby girl?

In Jewish tradition, baby names are chosen within the first few weeks of life. In the naming ceremony, the Hebrew name may resemble the secular/English name or share a similar sound. Ashkenazi Jews often choose names to honor deceased relatives, while Sephardic Jews often name their children after living relatives (1).

2. Why is the naming of a girl important in Judaism?

In Judaism, an individual’s name carries a sense of belonging within a community. Naming rituals are pivotal in the rites of passage of different societies, distinguishing between those who are part of the community and those who are not. Within Jewish culture, these naming ceremonies also shed light on the role and status of women, showcasing their significance within the broader cultural context (2).

3. Do we get a new name when we convert to Judaism?

Adopting a Hebrew name as part of your conversion process is common. This Hebrew name holds symbolic significance and represents their new identity as Jewish community members.

In Ashkenazi tradition or Jewish communities with origins in Central and Eastern Europe, it is common to name a newborn after a recently deceased family member, such as a grandparent or great-grandparent.
