Miriam
“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).”
David
“From the Hebrew "Dāwīd", derived from the root "d-w-d" meaning beloved, darling, or uncle. In the Hebrew Bible, David is the greatest king of Israel — poet, warrior, shepherd boy who slew Goliath, and author of the Psalms — whose complex, deeply human story spans triumph, adultery, murder, and profound repentance.”
Hagar
“From Hebrew "Hagar" whose exact etymology is uncertain — proposed meanings include "flight" or "stranger", or possibly from Egyptian "Hw-Gr" meaning "stranger" or "foreigner". In the Hebrew Bible, Hagar is the Egyptian slave of Sarah who becomes the mother of Ishmael by Abraham — her story of exile and divine rescue in the desert has made her a symbol of the marginalized finding divine compassion.”
Hannah
“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.”
Rivka
“The original Hebrew form of Rebekah — "Rivkah" — from an uncertain root possibly meaning "to tie", "to bind", or "captivating". Rivka is the form of the name used in Israeli Hebrew and in traditional Jewish communities, maintaining the closest connection to the Biblical original while Rebekah/Rebecca are the Anglicized forms.”
Gershom
“From the Hebrew "Gershom" meaning "a stranger there" or "exile" — Moses named his son Gershom because he said "I have been a stranger in a foreign land" (Exodus 2:22), giving the name a permanent association with the experience of displacement, foreignness, and living far from one's homeland. It is one of the Bible's most poignant names for the condition of diaspora.”
