Hebrew girl names are as beautiful as the golden lands they hail from. Rich with history and spiritual ties, these stunning names have been loved for thousands of years. Discover new and old favorites with us as we run down some notable Hebrew monikers.

First up in Hebrew girl names are the classics. Also known as timeless names, these stunners have been used throughout history and never pick up a so-called “dated” feel. They work well on a baby and an adult alike. You may recognize some from royalty, like Elizabeth, while others are popular stateside in the White House with First Ladies, like Abigail. Hannah and Anna are rhyming sisters that never go out of style, while Leah has a sweet sound that we can’t get enough of. A favorite for us here is Samantha, an enduring sweetheart with the beloved tomboyish Sammy nickname. Whichever you use, classic Hebrew girl names will not disappoint.

Along with the classics, there are many vintage monikers hiding within Hebrew girl names if you’re a lover of the styling. Josephine is one of today’s rising stars, and her nickname of Josie is too cute for words. There’s also Susanna, a seldom-seen sweetie that’s overdue for a comeback. Similarly, Deborah’s “bee” meaning is precious, and her nickname of Debbie has retro vibes that we adore. Speaking of nicknames, why not try out Elizabeth’s smaller forms, Betty and Betsy? They have loads of style and spunk. Vintage names are red-hot, so explore away.

Venturing into modern territory, you’ll still find plenty of options among Hebrew girl names. Ella and her longer friend Eliana are baby name chart darlings. Sarah’s sister Sadie has won over many with her charm, as has the melodic Delilah. With modern names, you’ll notice that vowel names are still mega-hot. Eden fits this bill nicely along with Ayla, an energetic pick who’s right at home in today’s classrooms.

If you’re stuck in your search, looking at meanings is always our first suggestion. A great meaning can help a name speak to you, as sometimes letters on a page don’t do a name justice. A clear winner in this area among Hebrew girl names is Ariel, an angelic darling meaning “lion of God.” Not to be outdone, Talia’s “heaven’s dew” is breathtaking. Some names have meanings that are more rooted in day-to-day life, like Simone’s “listen” or Samara’s “guardian.” Zahara offers a pop of feminity with her meaning of “flowering” while Nuri’s “my fire” is full of heart.

Biblical names are most often associated with Hebrew girl names. Naomi and Ruth are two Biblical beauties that are slowly making a comeback, while Rachel and Rebecca have seen steady use over the years. We’d love to see more of Miriam and Esther, who work wonderfully with today’s top names and have loads of heart.
