Hadassah Origin and Meaning

The name Hadassah is a girl's name of Hebrew, Hebrew/Israeli origin meaning "myrtle tree".

This Hebrew name of Queen Esther is well used in Israel (especially for girls born around the holiday of Purim), and in the US is the name of a Zionist women's philanthropic organization. Formerly shunned as hyper-religious, this name entered the Top 1000 in 2007. The nickname Haddie could make it more usable.
