Jewish Boy Names

Jewish names for boys are a multifaceted bunch, comprising of Hebrew names like Jonah and Gabriel; Yiddish choices popular in Hasidic communities, such as Moishe and Usher; and boy names with non-Jewish roots that are nonetheless disproportionately popular among Reform families, like Charlie and Emmett.

Jewish boy names popular in Israel include David, Lavi, Yosef, Raphael, and Ariel. The most common names for Jewish boys in the US include Ezra, Asher, Benjamin, Levi, and Samuel, although these are not exclusively used by Jewish families.

There are hundreds of unique Jewish boy names worth considering, such as the traditional Omri and Lazarus, nicknames Alvie and Nev, and modern gender-neutral Shai and Ezri.
