Tamar
“From the Hebrew "Tamar" meaning date palm — a tree of great significance in the ancient Near East, representing beauty, uprightness, grace, and fertility. In the Hebrew Bible, Tamar appears as a figure of striking agency: the daughter-in-law of Judah who, disguised as a prostitute, secures her legal rights through her own bold action (Genesis 38).”
Malachi
“From the Hebrew "Mal'akhi" meaning "my messenger" or "my angel", from "malak" (messenger, angel) — the same root as Arabic "malak". Malachi is the last of the Hebrew prophets in the canonical ordering of the Hebrew Bible, his name meaning that his book's message is the final divine message of the prophetic era before a long silence.”
Isaac
“From the Hebrew "Yitzchak" meaning "he will laugh" or "he laughs", from the root "tz-ḥ-q" meaning to laugh. In the Hebrew Bible, Isaac's name commemorates the laughter of his elderly parents Abraham and Sarah when they were told they would have a child — laughter of disbelief that became laughter of joy, making his name a permanent memorial to the miracle of his birth.”
Rebekah
“From the Hebrew "Rivkah" whose etymology is uncertain — proposed meanings include "to tie firmly", "snare" or "to bind", or possibly from a root meaning "to captivate" or "beautiful". In the Hebrew Bible, Rebekah is the wife of Isaac, chosen through an elaborate test of character at a well, and the mother of Jacob and Esau — a decisive figure who engineers Jacob's blessing over his older brother.”
Obadiah
“From the Hebrew "Ovadyah" meaning "servant of God" or "worshipper of Yahweh", compounded from "eved" (servant) and "Yah" (a form of the divine name). In the Hebrew Bible, Obadiah is a minor prophet whose brief book pronounces judgment on the nation of Edom for its betrayal of Israel in a time of catastrophe — a voice of fierce, uncompromising divine justice.”
Benjamin
“From the Hebrew "Binyamin" meaning "son of the right hand" or "son of the south" (as the right hand was associated with the south in Hebrew directional orientation). In the Hebrew Bible, Benjamin is the youngest and most beloved son of Jacob and Rachel, the only full brother of Joseph, and the ancestor of the tribe of Benjamin — including King Saul.”
