My daughter's name is a hebrew name "Eliana" Eh Lee On Ah meaning God has answered. We liked it because we have 3 boys and feel that God, indeed, answered our prayers! :)

Hi G. -
My husband is Israeli and we speak Hebrew at home. I would be happy to share our kids' names and translate any you are tossing around. Just contact me privately.
Thanks,
A.
PS My oldest is Eden and I love that!

Hi G.,
I know they have books in the library that have Hebrew names and meanings. That is a good way to go if you can't afford to buy. They sell baby name books in the book stores and I am sure they have some. I think you can probably look it up on-line as well. I live in R.I. too. It is neat to see someone else from there.

Using books and Google is one way to go, as you have tried and as others have suggested. Have you used a Jewish naming book, or are you just going through regular books and looking for Hebrew meanings? You could also try to meet with a rabbi or other learned Jewish person with a strong Hebrew background - try the Jewish Day Schools, Hebrew College or Brandeis, depending on where you live. The colleges will have extensive libraries as well. Rabbis who do a lot of baby namings can meet with you and discuss your wishes, goals, personalities, life styles, etc. and maybe come up with something to help. Remember that Hebrew works largely on consonants and the "shoresh" (root) of the word, and many words/names change the vowels but stick to the same order of consonants - you may be surprised at how many variations are out there that give you a good root meaning but also a beautiful name. Even if you are not a member of a synagogue, many rabbis will work with you if you are planning a naming ceremony. Not sure if you are Jewish or just looking for a Biblical name. Good luck!

One of the names on my list when we found out we were having a boy, is Samuel. It's hebrew for "God heard." Which is sure what it feels like when you're blessed with a baby, right? I asked, he heard.

Have you tried googling "Hebrew Names".

My daughter's name is Aliyah. A very important Hebrew word which has a beautiful Hebrew translation. We get compliments on her name often! We just looked through the baby name books and picked out the ones which felt special to us. Congrats and good luck!
