Choosing a name can feel like such a big task, and I know what it’s like to want something beautiful, meaningful, and memorable. For me, Hebrew names check all of those boxes.

Why I Love Hebrew Names

I always feel like Hebrew names carry this beautiful combination of heritage and heart. They’re often tied to stories of strength, faith, love, or character—qualities I think many of us hope our kids grow into. Even if you’re not specifically looking for biblical names, these still offer a sense of warmth and rootedness.

Another thing I love is the sound. So many Hebrew names have a soft, lyrical flow, while others feel strong and confident. Whether you lean girly and elegant or bold and boyish, there’s something in this collection that just fits.

And if you’re naming twins or siblings? Hebrew names pair effortlessly with each other but also mix well with modern, vintage, and unique styles—which is always a bonus.

How to Use This List

If you’re anything like me, you probably skim first and then circle back to the ones that jump off the page. I recommend jotting down your favorites as you go because there are truly some gems here. And don’t be afraid to mix and match for middle names—Hebrew middles have such beautiful flow.

Below, I’ve separated the lists into boys and girls, each with 50 options. Every name includes a brief meaning, because I know how important those definitions can be when you’re looking for the perfect fit.
