Amittai

More popularly spelled as Amitai, this is the original transcription of the Old Testament name. Derived from the Hebrew emet meaning "truth", this virtue-adjacent name is borne by the father of Jonah in the Bible. Sleeker Amitai is popular in Israel, and with cool nickname Tai and its similarity to Azariah, Amias, and Mattias, Amittai or its streamlined sibling have potential to catch on elsewhere.

Pronounced uh-mit-AH-ee.

As of October 2026, Amittai ranked #12359 for boys in US births in 2017 SSA, peaked at #12190 for boys in 2015.
