Hebrew Girls

  1. Betta

    • Origin:

      Diminutive of Elizabeth

    • Meaning:

      "pledged to God"

    • Description:

      A modern version of the dated Betty. You might want to consider varying Elizabeth, too, to the Italian Elisabetta.
  2. Neviah

    • Origin:

      Hebrew

    • Meaning:

      "forecaster"

    • Description:

      All too likely to be confused with the ultratrendy Nevaeh.
  3. Rebekka

    • Origin:

      Variation of Rebecca, Hebrew

    • Meaning:

      "servant of God"

    • Description:

      Rebekka is a more creative spelling -- at least in some people's opinion -- of the biblical favorite Rebecca. Rebekka is also the usual German version. The Rebekkah spelling was commonly used in Early America.
  4. Shamira

    • Origin:

      Hebrew

    • Meaning:

      "he who defends"

    • Description:

      Hebrew name with a bright sheen.
  5. Abriana

    • Origin:

      Italian feminine variation of Abraham

    • Meaning:

      "father of multitudes"

    • Description:

      This lovely name is all but unknown outside Italy but fits perfectly in with the fashions for vowel-starting names that are elaborately feminine. Might make a distinctive alternative to Angelina or Arianna. Downside: People will inevitably mistake it for Adriana.
  6. Ivria

    • Origin:

      Hebrew

    • Meaning:

      "from the land of Abraham"

    • Description:

      Perhaps to honor an ancestral Abraham, but presents a confusing image.
  7. Gavriela

    • Description:

      Gavriela is the feminine form of Gabriel, a name with Hebrew origins meaning 'God is my strength' or 'devoted to God.' This elegant variation maintains the spiritual significance of the original while offering a distinctly feminine character. While Gabriel has been widely used across many cultures for boys, Gavriela remains relatively uncommon, giving it a special quality. The name has roots in Jewish tradition, where biblical Gabriel was an archangel who served as a messenger of God. Gavriela combines spiritual depth with a melodic, flowing sound. The name may appeal to families looking for a name with religious significance that isn't overused, or those seeking to honor a male relative named Gabriel while using a feminine form.

  8. Bethia

    • Origin:

      Hebrew

    • Meaning:

      "daughter of Jehovah"

    • Description:

      Long forgotten Old Testament name with modern potential.
  9. Abijah

    • Origin:

      Hebrew

    • Meaning:

      "God is my father"

    • Description:

      Abijah, which you might think of as Abigail with rhythm, is the name of both female and male personages in the Bible. A biblical Queen Abijah was the daughter, wife, and mother of kings. The name is pronounced with a long i, to rhyme with Elijah.
  10. Isibeal

    • Description:

      Isibeal is the traditional Irish Gaelic form of Isabel or Elizabeth, ultimately derived from the Hebrew name Elisheva, meaning 'God is my oath.' Pronounced roughly as 'ISH-beal' or 'EE-sha-byal,' this name carries the rich cultural heritage of Ireland while offering an uncommon alternative to more familiar variations. Isibeal has deep historical roots in Celtic culture but remains relatively rare even in Ireland. The name possesses a lyrical, almost musical quality characteristic of Irish names, with their distinctive combinations of consonants and vowels. Parents might choose Isibeal to honor Irish ancestry or simply for its unique, melodic sound. While it might present pronunciation challenges outside Ireland, Isibeal offers a beautiful connection to Gaelic language and tradition.
