Let’s talk baby names! Baby Firefly’s arrival is getting closer and closer so James have been on my mind. I made a list of ten Jewish baby names for girls and ten Jewish baby names for boys that I live and might actually use. In this video I will share the names, their meanings, and backstories. Thank you for being here and listening to the Jewish baby name ideas!
Hello and welcome! My name is Chana, I’m married to my best friend, and we have three wonderful children together. We also happen to be Orthodox Jews and we homeschool our kids. This video is a sneak peek into our daily lives :) You can see how this particular Jewish homeschool mom sets up her days, rolls with the punches, and gets it all done. Thanks for watching!

Love the Martha reference! Too funny. Oh good luck choosing. All terrific names. My great niece was named Mya. So pretty. I loved the boys name that meant the Lord is with thee. Lovely!!
I love Native
@@LisaLisa-zl9vu It’s a nice name
Jewish children are namec after a Deceased Person, or one that is not known or named by another..As a JEWISH Conservatoive Motheb..please correct if I'm wrong, please. I had many names however our nigjbirs had that same name or the person was stil, alive and a known friend throughout my life ...so tell he the reas on for cgangi ng one letter..it's still the same name or derivative of the name. Not Orthodox to me....✡.

Having lived with an Anglosized version of Devora for almost 66 years now, I’ve thought about what being a bee means. They are hard workers for the good of the community. They will give their lives to save their home and family. They spend their lives making honey and honeycomb; lots of scriptures about that. And without these pollinators we wouldn’t have most of the fruits and vegetables that not only sustain us, but enrich our lives. They fly, drink from flowers, and are beautiful! I think it’s a wonderful name!
Vintage "granny names" are totally making a comeback in the US! Rock your Jewish Martha baby names! My cousins just had a little girl and named her Edith (we call her Edie) and I think it's adorable.
My niece named her baby, "Eleanor Louise." It's a combination of two older names that we loved.
@@sharonf106 those are two of my favorite names!
Late to the party here, but traditional names are always in vogue.
Beautiful names.
I love the Hebrew names; for a girl Hadassa, "for a time such as this" and Micha for a boy. Praying you have a blessed birth, delivery and swift recovery.
I thought about Hadassa for one of mine. I didn't end up using it.
When my son and his wife were expecting, short-listed names for a girl included Aviva, Hadassah, and Ita. Short-listed boys’ names included Aden, Etan, and Natan.
My niece is expecting her 3rd. We are hoping for a girl ( 2 boys ) and my sister also likes and suggested Hadassa!
I adore Hadassah!!!
We have a Dov Micah in our family ,
Maayan Chai. The most beautiful name I have ever heard. Also, Devorah is a honeybee. They spread life as they fly from plant to plant pollinating them. They also produce honey,a symbol of the beauty of Israel.
I actually had a student last year from Israel named Etai. He was a smart, polite and amazing young man. Anyone named Etai would be blessed if he was like my student. He is just in tenth grade so it’s still being used for younger people apparently.
Picking a baby name is difficult. My Mom had names picked out with each of her eleven children. The baby usually came home with a totally different name than the one she was thinking of. Always told me you have to see the baby then name them. I wish you an easy delivery and a joyous welcoming of your new soul. 🙏
My favorite jewish girl’s name is Rivkah and derivatives thereof, and for a boy I like Reuven/Ruben, but I must admit that I’m a pretty big fan of the books of Chaim Potok. Have you ever read anything he’s written? That’s how I know the names😂
I’ve not read any books by him
I love the name Martha. We are born again Christians. My Sister’s daughter is in her late 30’s and her name is Martha. She is a homeschooling mother of 4 married to a Christian minister. It's a beautiful name.
Such a wonderful video. I love hearing the meanings of names. I praying for an easy delivery and recovery. Much love ❤️
Thank you for giving us some ideas on names! ❤️
The list of names you have are absolutely beautiful! I know whichever one you pick is going to be perfect for the little firefly! I’m so excited for you and can’t wait! Sending you much love and best wishes in your labor when it comes! ♥️
Thank you for sharing your baby names with us. Such beautiful names - all of them!!
Such lovely names! And such a blessing to have a new baby on the way! Your family is in our prayers.
Such lovely names. Wishing you a safe delivery and a happy healthy baby 💙💗😊
Thanks for sharing your life with us. I greatly admire your devotion to your husband and children. I wish you a safe delivery!
It’s cool that Maya is a Jewish name too! I’ve always known it to be Indian in origin(my heritage), where it means illusion. In Hindu mythology, there is a celestial architect known for building illusions in his buildings. However, it’s traditionally a girl’s name. Totally sending vibes for a safe delivery and a speedy recovery!
A beautiful list of names to choose for baby Firefly! Praying for an easy labor and delivery, as well as an easy recovery. As always, I pray for a healthy mother and baby and your family.
Bees are highly intelligent, very hard workers and very community minded. They say if we lose our bees all of us will starve. They are tiny but mighty. It’s like God was saying I will place all this wonder in a tiny bee. I have had a glorious spring watching the bees pollinate my flowers. Thank you for sharing your favourites. All of them are very beautiful to the ears - even the ‘old’ ones. 🙂
I am enjoying your jar off fire flys, it warms my heart to see you teaching your children, your life, and your morals , I wish more people were like you. Thanks for sharing your life
When my daughter was born, I named her pearl after my great grandmother. I’ve only run into three in 15 years. My your birth be safe and blessed.
I'm SO happy for you!❤️
I live in Israel and I've met lots of young Itai's. Didn't know it was a biblical name! It's one of my favorites.
What a really interesting video today Chana!
I love hearing all the meanings and backgrounds to the names you’re thinking about.
I also liked choosing less common names for my kids… one of them, we discovered, has a name that is similar in meaning to mine.. which I think is very cool!
All the names on your list are really beautiful and I feel like you’ll be using one of those!
I love seeing your bookcase in the background today and hearing Bella in the outtakes!! 😊
Enjoy your week… Continued prayers for you!
Lesley
Thank you so much Lesley! So glad you enjoyed ❤️
I really enjoyed your name selections. My youngest is Yonasan Hillel for Yonasan ben Uziel and Hillel for Hallel because he was born the last day of Chanukah. Yonasan is "HaShem gives" and Hillel means "praise ". We chose these names also because my husband is a Kohein and so is Yonasan (I always preferred the Ashkenazi pronunciation). My husband and I just loved the name combination.
I hope for an easy birth for you and true joy when you and your husband hold your new little one after all you've been through!! B'shaah Tova, at the right time!!
Absolutely LOVE Ya'el and Maya ❤️ Ya'el was one heck of a lady, a warrior woman. Etai sounds like a strong, wise sounding character. Whatever you name your little one, I'm certain will be absolutely perfect for him or her.
I absolutely adored this video. Thank you so much for sharing! They are all such beautiful names with beautiful meanings!
Thank you!
Lovely names and so great to listen to the historical context of the names.
Very much enjoyed this video, Chana. I love the stories behind the names.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I’m so excited to see which name fits ☺️
My name is Elisha, it was all by accident but once in a great while, someone will pronounce it Eli sha . It's pronounce Ee lee sha . So cool.
Hi Chana! What a lovely list of names! Praying for a safe and easy labor and delivery for you and baby firefly. Believe it or not, my criteria for names included how it would sound if I shouted it outside! As always a pleasure to watch and learn.....
I love your head scarf! The color and the shimmer. Plus the earrings are awesome too!
Thank you so much 😊
I love your channel and your energy so much, Chana. I especially love how you've found a way to share snippets of your life while protecting your kids' privacy. I wish for you a safe and healthy delivery for your rainbow baby!
Thank you 😊
What a lovely list. They all sound wonderful to me and I’m sure one of them will fit perfectly once baby arrives. My kids have very old fashioned names because they were named after family members. This is common among lots of people I know and I think it’s driving a resurgence of those names.
You’re glowing 🥰💕love your story and content
Thank you 😊
Such lovely meaningful names. I had names all picked out for my children and they both changed - my daughter’s was changed as soon as she was born and my son’s changed when we told someone his name and they said a nickname for it that I did not like. I immediately picked another name and my husband agreed. (He really wasn’t going to get a say since he named our daughter and we had agreed that I could choose our son’s name. But I did want him to like it. Lol) Happy 4th of July! And many blessings as you (well all of us) await Baby Firefly’s arrival!
All beautiful names! You should have a great week!
Thank you Rochel! 💜
I love the names! Praying for a gentle birth, and easy recovery as you bring your lil one into your family ❤️❤️
Thank you so much Kristin!
I love a lot of the names that you mentioned because these are also comparable to our religious names.
Love the story time behind the names, fantastic!
Easy, Quick and Healthy Birth to you !!! Happy and Safe 4th of July to you and your family Chana!
I'm soooo waiting for this baby. It's like someone in my family is having a baby! So exciting. I've recently have changed my idea about my name. I always hated it but Margaret is the name of alot of princesses and queens. Very regal. And it means a pearl.
I feel like Margaret is making a come back!
Hello fellow Queen named friend! My full name is Elizabeth but I get called Lilly. It means God’s Oath and Satisfaction
@@littlelilly93 love it! There's something to be said about us royal types
That's my name . Named after my Fathers,s sister whom passed away at the age of 33. In the 1940's
@@artchem1 ❤️❤️❤️
Chana, these are some of the most beautiful names I have ever heard. Thank you so much for sharing them.
You are so welcome! I am so glad you like them :)
Love the names! Thanks Chana. Have a happy baby.
Thank you! 🤗
What podcasts to you particularly like? I’m looking for some. So happy for you and your family with coming baby. Praying for easy, safe delivery.
I enjoy the 1000 Hours Outside podcast, and a few other nature based podcasts like some birdwatching ones and The Nature Guys (especially the older episodes, I like to search by topic)
Good morning! I pray you have a healthy baby… rooting for a girl and I think Maya or Mayon is so beautiful. Be blessed!
Good morning and thank you!!!!
Also works in Spanish
All my best wishes for you and your new baby!
Thank you Irina!
Love the color of your scarf it is very flattering! ❤️
Thank you!
Lovely names! ❤️
I love old fashioned names, even the "Martha" ones! All of the names you have picked out are very meaningful. I can't wait for you to be able to see your baby's sweet face and name him or her. I check daily your Instagram and the RUclips community page to see if there is a new baby announcement! Congrats on the Native sponsorship, your channel is growing quickly!! Hugs, love, and prayers to you and your family. B'sha'ah tovah!
Thank you 😊❤️
And Martha is a HUUUUUGE name here in Brazil
You are in my prayers for a healthy baby and a safe delivery. I love names that have a history behind them. You and your husband have picked beautiful names.
Thank you!
Beautiful names, and hearing the origins behind them, makes it more special. When I was young I lived on the west coast and a boy over the road was called Duncan. I had never heard the name before, so when my son was born - Duncan it was. Stay well and safe.
Was wondering and checking on you today! Hope you are comfortable and taking it easy. Hang in there! and keep your feet up!!!! xxoo
Thank you, I will!
Today is August 4, and I just finished watching your Q&A, mostly about your children's privacy. Props to you, parents! But then this was offered at the end, and I decided to come watch. Mazel tov on the safe arrival and naming of your son!
Thank you!
Hi Chana! You are glowing today! Along with the meaning and beautiful sound of the names, I think you need to also take into account what the baby's initials will be. Secondly, even though you wouldn't use a nickname, that doesn't mean others wont. We are all here on pins and needles waiting for your big announcement!
👊 you got this!
Good to be back on RUclips 🙂 after hacker troubles but so love your videos
Welcome back!!!! So sorry you had those troubles!!!
I love the list, especially Elisha because it was my father’s name and my youngest son’s middle name. As an Israeli I have to tell you that the name Eitai is a very popular and modern name in Israel today.
My goddaughter is called Elisha. I see it can also be a male name. ❤️🇨🇦
You are right. Itai is a very common name here in Israel:)
Itai is also very popular in NYC.
What lovely names and meanings, as well. I watched a very good Netflix series called Shtisel, which was done in Hebrew, about an orthodox Jewish family in Israel. The characters names really stood out to me, especially Akiva, one of the main characters. You have so many wonderful choices for the new firefly, how exciting!
Lots of meaningful names to choose from….will be fun to learn which name fits the baby
Congratulations!!!!
Good morning Chana,Mr Firefly and kiddos and lil one ❤️ 💕. You are glowing ✨️ 💛
Good morning Kristin! 😊 thank you
Thank you for sharing! Pray for a safe and beautiful birthing!
Love and blessings from Johanne, Norway 🇳🇴
Hello! RUclips just recommended your channel to me, and I am so happy. I’ve been binge watching your videos all day and I just love them all, and enjoy everything that I’m learning and yet somehow feels intrinsic to me. Hope that you are resting up for your precious next baby. Sending love from Australia 🇦🇺
Thank you and welcome! I’m so glad you’re here!
@@jaroffireflies I’m beyond happy to have found you! I have so many questions for you, but will go through all of your videos first before bombarding you. Your husband seems absolutely delightful, and your children are blessed to enjoy a childhood such as they are receiving. ❤️
@@Diorella_scent Aw thank you! I appreciate you! Feel free to ask questions (though I may refer you to a video lol). The q and a videos are great to watch too since I answer so many questions there!
@@jaroffireflies Before I try and get some sleep, I wanted to share that I have been a Type 1 Diabetic for 40 plus years, and am wondering how you manage your child’s? Do you use an insulin pump with Bluetooth sharing capabilities and also most importantly a Continuous Glucose Monitor?
@@Diorella_scent we use a CGM and pump.
My sons have 2 middle names each. One of my oldest son’s middle names is Keegan, it means “little fiery one”. He’s a red head who kicked all the time & put me into early labor at 26 weeks! Thankfully I had him at 35 weeks after LOTS of bed rest & medical intervention. He ended up having a roommate when he moved to Chicago with his job that’s named Eitan. He’s the most observant “non observant” Jew that I have ever met! He was my son’s roommate because he said that his Mom was trying to find him a wife & he didn’t want to marry someone who hadn’t had their own life first. He dating (going out to dinner mainly) an observant woman now & he’s discussing marriage.
Andrea: I was so interested to hear your son’s middle name is “Keegan “--my last name, and that the meaning is “little fiery one”. Some of my brothers also have fiery red hair, too.
Love your name choices. My husband also had issues with some of the names I picked, he wanted old fashioned and I wanted more modern, but we did work it out to the satisfaction of both of us.
Glad it all worked out :)
Love all the babies names what ever yall pick would be beautiful
Hana i love you and your channel! 🤩
Very enjoyable vlog, I love Yael and Eitan especially.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I never clicked so fast on a video. I love name discusions! Elisha is a beautiful name and one of my favorites.
Praying for an easy birth and a healthy lil' fireflie.
Thank you!!! ❤️
Beautiful names 👍❤️😃
You picked out some beautiful names for #4. I have an aunt and cousin, Tema and Tobe. Both girl names. Of course, you sometimes just need to see what baby looks like. I have been checking IG to see if baby has arrived.
I love the name Nava. One of my hobbies was looking up baby names and finding the meanings, because I wanted to write. (Never did write).
Love your list of names. Wishing you a blessed, short, and as painless a possible birth.
Thank you Kristin!
I love Gideon! It cracks me up that the angel called him “mighty warrior” while he was hiding from the enemy.
I also love it that Gideon was told to “go forth in the strength you have.”
Omg! I also have a nephew named Eitan. My sister’s son. Sorry, I keep commenting as I watch :) it is a very exciting topic.
Some beautiful names!
Thank you!
I hope that all goes well Chana - lovely names.
Thank you Heather!
I love that you wait to meet your baby before choosing a name. I always tell my daughter that she told me her name. Lots of boy and girl names had been written down, but hers came to me as I held her. I've never regretted it. In our family we never use nick names either. I don't understand why so many Americans do that. I hope you have a safe delivery.
All of those names are lovely. Gd bless!
Thank you Amy!
I'm a big fan of Native deodorant so I'm happy to see them supporting you! And thanks to your code I'm trying out their body wash for the first time 😊
So glad you enjoy their products as much as I do!!!
Great names, Chana!!
Thank you Trish!
Can’t wait to hear what name you chose and why, blessings for a blessed 4th….
Thank you!
Oh my goodness! Your husband's Martha analogy is hysterical!!
Right?!? 😂
Chana, I think all of the girls and boys names you have on that list are so pretty. Whatever name you do choose, I am sure it will be perfect for your child. God Bless You.
I’m sure you will pick a lovely name and have a healthy, beautiful baby. Blessings.
As someone with a super-common American name, I appreciate your looking for less-common names for your kids. (It's one thing to know another kid in your neighborhood; it's an entirely different matter when there are three of you in one class!) Wishing for an easy birth and recovery and for this little one to be the perfect addition to your sweet family!
My daughter's high school class had four Sarahs. They called one another by their last names to avoid confusion.
Hannah I'm not Jewish but I came across your channel somehow and absolutely love you. You radiate such profound warmth,kindness and positive energy. When I'm feeling down your bright smile and kind enthusiasm cheer me up and give me hope. I enjoy everything you talk about and always feel happy when I see a new upload from you. God bless you and thank you for posting such bright and cheerful vlogs. I really enjoy learning more about the Jewish faith as well.I think youre wonderful!
Thank you so very much for your lovely comment! You absolutely made my day so thank you for that :)
Chana, I love your channel! Your list of names is beautiful, just a couple of comments:
Etai is still commonly given in Israel. We have a grandson named Yedidya who just turned 18 yesterday! I guess it depends on what circles your family and friends are in. Ayala appears in sefer Breishit, chapter 49, in Yakov's blessing to Naftali (but not as a name...). Our second daughter is named Ayala, but that's also a translation of my husband's grandmother's Yiddish name Hinde which means gazelle, as you mentioned. Our Ayala is an amazing young woman, and anyone would be blessed to have such a daughter!
May your baby be born be'sha'a tova umutzlachat and may you have much joy and nachat from all of your children!
I love Jael. She has a great story, and I love telling it when someone needs to know women have always been powerful. I've heard of the name Emre, but from a RUclips wedding. He was quite a handsome groom. Thank you for sharing your lists with us, these were very interesting, and I'll keep the one I guessed to myself. Mazel tov!
Hi Chana! I used to work with a girl whose name was 'Rua', which I thought was lovely; she told me that it meant 'Breath of life', or 'breath of God', in Hebrew. I thought that was lovely, too. LOL- My name means "fierce woman warrior', which my family always teases is amazingly appropriate! I kind of like it. Praying for you and your family as you wait for your new little Firefly! Love from CT. And Happy Fourth to all!!
Love learning about the meanings and history of the female biblical names. Blessings on your approaching labor and delivery and new child.
Thank you so much!
I LOVE ALL THE NAMES YOU ARE THINKING FOR YOUR PRECIOUS BABY IM ALL EXCITED ANXIOUSLY WAITING TO SEE A LITTLE BIT OF THE BABY A LITTLE HAND 🥰🦋🦋🦋🌻🌻🌻🐝
I want to tell you that you look glowingly beautiful as well as the picture of health❣️The color of the scarf you’re wearing is my favorite on you - I couldn’t make out how it is tied.
Be well🙂
Love the possible banes you’ve chosen.
I love names, we were very careful in selecting because we didn’t want nicknames either and the meaning was so important because we felt like you speak those characteristics over your child each time you say their name. I loved the names but I’m also a fan of the Martha names 🤭
I never have loved nicknames either, although I grew up with a nickname. I always called my children by their names although one daughter with a longer name got a nickname in high school. You’re smart to wait to choose a name until you see the child. A baby is born with a personality that comes through pretty quickly. And a name bestows a blessing and hope for a person’s whole life.
Beautiful names! I now have to read the Book of Judges.
Your face lit up when you said Mayr and Hebrew Abigail.
Love the names. I’m sure you and Mr. Firefly will know the right name for baby when you see him/her. My given name is Debra..My son’s names are Robert and Andrew. Many blessings for a safe and speedy delivery!
Hi Chana: I love giving Jewish children (traditional) Hebrew names! I like all those on your list; I'm sure whichever one you choose will be wonderful. I think a name should have meaning behind it. Wishing you a healthy baby, a smooth (and short!) labor and delivery. Many blessings! Rosemarie 💖
Great names. I'm in the UK and the name Martha has become very popular along with what my husband calls over granny names like Ada, Ivy and Edith. We are neither religious or Jewish but nearly called our youngest son Oren after a wonderful Israeli friend xxx
Oren means pine tree in Hebrew. Lovely name.
עדה/ Adah here 🙋🏻♀️ so you mean my name is becoming popular again? 😂 In Israel many Jews from Yemen have my name and other Sephardim but usually the joke amongst my Israeli friends was “oh I have an older aunt named Adah” 🤦🏻♀️But it is a name from the Torah meaning “adornment” and the modern version is Adi and there is also Adiya.
You will know when you see your babe the name it is to be blessed with. I can’t wait - I daresay you are more impatient! 💕
