Yeminah
Yeminah Origin and Meaning
Yeminah is a feminine name with Hebrew origins, likely a variant spelling of Yemima (or Jemima), which appears in the Bible as one of Job's daughters after his trials. The name derives from the Hebrew word meaning 'dove,' symbolizing peace, gentleness, and purity. This alternate spelling with an 'h' ending gives the name a soft, breathy conclusion while maintaining its biblical connections. Yeminah is quite rare in English-speaking countries, where Jemima is the more recognized form. The name carries beautiful symbolism through its connection to doves, traditionally seen as messengers of peace and hope. In some Middle Eastern and Jewish communities, variants of this name continue to be used, appreciating both its biblical heritage and its gentle meaning.
