Havivah
Havivah Origin and Meaning
Havivah is a feminine name of Hebrew origin meaning 'beloved' or 'cherished.' It derives from the Hebrew word 'haviv' (חביב) with the feminine ending added. This name appears in Jewish communities, particularly among Sephardic Jews, though it remains relatively uncommon even within these communities. The name carries profound spiritual significance, emphasizing the importance of love and being treasured. Havivah has a melodic quality with its repeating 'v' sound and balanced syllables. While not widely used in mainstream Western culture, it appeals to parents seeking a name with deep cultural roots, meaningful etymology, and a gentle yet distinctive sound. Its rarity makes it a special choice that stands out while maintaining its traditional heritage.
