More Hebrew names
Ivah
“Ivah is a biblical place name appearing in the Hebrew scriptures as a city conquered by the Assyrians, of uncertain etymology. As a given name it has occasionally been used in English-speaking countries as an archaic feminine form, possibly associated with Iva (a variant of Eve or Ivy) or treated as an ornate spelling variant.”
Jonas
“Jonas is the Greek and Latin form of the Hebrew prophet name Jonah, from "Yonah" meaning "dove". In the Hebrew Bible, Jonah is the reluctant prophet swallowed by a great fish after fleeing God's command to preach to Nineveh. The name is popular in Germany, Scandinavia, the Netherlands, and Israel, and carries a strong biblical resonance across Christian and Jewish traditions.”
Jeremy
“The English form of the Hebrew name Yirmiyahu (Jeremiah), meaning "God will exalt" or "appointed by God" — from the Hebrew rāmāh ("to exalt") and El/Yah ("God"). Jeremiah was one of the major prophets of the Old Testament, whose lamentations gave rise to the English word "jeremiad." Jeremy emerged as the distinctive English colloquial form of the name and has been in widespread use since the 17th century.”
Jude
“An English form of Judas and Judah, from the Hebrew Yehudah, meaning "praised" or "let him be praised" — from the root yadah ("to praise"). Judah was one of the twelve sons of Jacob and the ancestor of the tribe from which the Jewish people take their name. Jude was the name of an apostle (also called Thaddaeus) and is the patron saint of desperate causes. The name was revived in the 20th century as a more usable alternative to the tainted Judas.”
Benny
“Benny is a diminutive of Benjamin, which derives from the Hebrew "Binyamin" meaning "son of the right hand" or "son of the south" — both suggesting favour and strength. In the Hebrew Bible, Benjamin was the youngest son of Jacob and Rachel, and the founder of one of the twelve tribes of Israel. As a standalone given name, Benny has been popular across Europe and the Americas throughout the 20th century.”
Zach
“A short form of Zachary or Zacharias, both anglicised forms of the Hebrew Zechariah (זְכַרְיָה), meaning "Yahweh has remembered," from the elements zakar ("to remember") and Yah (a form of the divine name). Zechariah is borne by several figures in the Hebrew Bible, including a minor prophet and the father of John the Baptist in the New Testament.”
