Hebrew Girl Names

1,048 namesGirl

Hebrew girls' names carry a long history, and many come from women in the Hebrew Bible or from phrases about faith. Hannah means grace or favor, Sarah means princess, Leah is often linked to a word meaning weary or delicate, and Naomi means pleasantness. Abigail means my father's joy, and Elizabeth comes from a phrase meaning God is my oath. Anna is a form of Hannah that passed through Greek and Latin.

Many other names on this list are European forms of Hebrew names. Isabella is a Spanish and Italian form of Elizabeth, and Gabriella is a feminine form of a Hebrew name meaning God is my strength. Gianna is an Italian form ultimately rooted in a Hebrew name meaning God is gracious. Mia is often used as a short form of a Hebrew-rooted name, and Madelyn comes from a word tied to Magdala, a town in ancient Galilee. Ava, Lillian and Samantha have debated origins, but they are often grouped with Hebrew names.

Hebrew girls' names offer a mix of classic and contemporary options. If you are drawn to a biblical name, think about how it sounds in everyday life and whether you want a traditional spelling or a modern variant. Many of these names also carry gentle nicknames that can grow with your daughter.
