Shneur is a masculine name of Hebrew origin that emerged within Jewish communities, particularly associated with Hasidic and Ashkenazi traditions. The name derives from two Hebrew words: 'shnei' (two) and 'or' (light), meaning 'two lights' or 'double light.' This poetic name carries deep spiritual significance, often interpreted as representing the dual illumination of both Torah knowledge and secular wisdom, or the light of both the written and oral Torah traditions. The name gained particular prominence after Rabbi Shneur Zalman of Liadi, the founder of Chabad Hasidism, who lived in the 18th century. While primarily used in observant Jewish communities, particularly those with connections to Chabad-Lubavitch, the name carries historical depth and spiritual meaning that resonates across generations.
