Related names
Tova
Hebrew · “From the Hebrew "Tovah" meaning good or goodness — the feminine form of "Tov" (good), the very word used in Genesis when God sees each day of creation and declares it "good". The name carries a deep simplicity and the oldest affirmation in the Hebrew tradition: the goodness of created existence.”
Miriam
Biblical Hebrew · “One of the oldest Hebrew names, with debated etymology — proposed meanings include "beloved" (from Egyptian "mry"), "bitter sea" (from Hebrew "mar" + "yam"), or "wished-for child". In the Hebrew Bible, Miriam is the sister of Moses and Aaron, a prophetess who led the women of Israel in song after the crossing of the Red Sea (Exodus 15:20-21).”
Hannah
Biblical Hebrew · “From the Hebrew "Ḥannāh" meaning grace, favour, or God's gracious gift, derived from the root "ḥ-n-n" meaning to be gracious. In the Hebrew Bible, Hannah is the mother of the prophet Samuel, whose moving prayer in the Temple (1 Samuel 1-2) after years of barrenness became a model of faithful, earnest prayer in Jewish and Christian tradition.”
Adina
Hebrew · “From the Hebrew root "ʿ-d-n" meaning gentle, delicate, or refined — related to "eden" (pleasure) and "adon" (Lord, master). The name conveys exquisite refinement and a gentle nobility, suggesting someone of delicate sensibility and elegant character. It appears in the Hebrew Bible as a masculine name (a warrior, in 1 Chronicles 11:42), though today it is primarily feminine.”

Esther
“Likely derived from the Old Persian "stāra" meaning star, or possibly related to the Babylonian goddess Ishtar. In the Hebrew Bible, Esther (also called Hadassah) is the Jewish queen of Persia who risks her life to save her people from genocide, becoming the subject of the Book of Esther and the festival of Purim.”
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.”
Jamie
“A diminutive of James, the English form of the Late Latin Iacobus, from the Greek Iakobos, ultimately from the Hebrew Ya'akov (Jacob), meaning "supplanter" or "he who follows at the heel." Jamie has been used as both a masculine and feminine name since at least the 18th century in Scotland, where it originated as a familiar form of James. Its gender neutrality has made it widely popular.”
Seth
“From the Hebrew Shet, meaning "appointed" or "placed" — from the root shith, "to put" or "to set." In Genesis, Seth was the third son of Adam and Eve, born after the death of Abel, and regarded as the ancestor of all humanity after the flood through his descendant Noah. The name has been in English use since the Reformation, when Old Testament names became fashionable among Puritans, and has remained in continuous quiet use.”
Daniel
“Daniel is a Hebrew masculine name meaning "God is my judge," composed of the elements din (to judge) and El (God). It is the name of the biblical prophet Daniel, whose Book of Daniel in the Hebrew scriptures recounts his survival in the lion's den and his prophetic visions. The name is widely used in Slavic countries including Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Russia.”
Beaulah
“A variant spelling of Beulah, from the Hebrew בְּעוּלָה (be'ulah), meaning "married woman" or "married land," from the root ba'al, "to marry" or "to possess." In the Book of Isaiah (62:4), Beulah is used as a symbolic name for the redeemed land of Israel. It was adopted as a given name in English-speaking Puritan communities during the 17th and 18th centuries.”
