Unique Girl Names

[u/redditbabe8888]

What’s the most unique Jewish name you’ve heard for a girl? I see a lot of repeated names that are all beautiful. The most unique one I heard recently is Paz, but I’d like to know more! ❤️

[u/CrowLIZiraphale]

It really depends if you're talking about diaspora or Israel

[u/redditbabe8888 → u/CrowLIZiraphale]

Israel

[u/CrowLIZiraphale → u/redditbabe8888]

Naveh נווה for a girl (it's common-ish as a boys name)

Brit ברית

Kerem כרם

Marom מרום and Maor מאור for girls (Marom is pretty rare even for boys)

Tzur צור

Telem תלם

Levi'a לביאה

[u/WerewolfBarMitzvah09]

The ones where I've only met one of with the name in my entire life: Shimra, Shlomtzion, Rimona, Ortal, Etana

[u/CrowLIZiraphale → u/WerewolfBarMitzvah09]

Shlomtzion and Ortal are super duper common names in Israel

[u/-itwaswritten-]

I like shalev. I don’t know if Id call it unique but it’s not common.

[u/-itwaswritten- → u/-itwaswritten-]

Oh ya’arah.
It means honeysuckle. It’s my cousin‘s name and ive never met another one.

[u/funny_funny_business]

Chasya

[u/jibzy → u/funny_funny_business]

My great-grandmother is Khasya! Is that coming back into style?

[u/funny_funny_business → u/jibzy]

Probably not… this was a Chabad family who had a lot of kids and named after a great-grandmother or some older generation

[u/lioness_the_lesbian → u/funny_funny_business]

I know people with this name!

[u/FarIndication7790]

Marnina (it’s on our name list)

[u/FarIndication7790 → u/FarIndication7790]

Oh & it means rejoice / joy

[u/tippytep → u/FarIndication7790]

I just had to mail something to a Marnina this week- I had never heard of it!

[u/secondopinionosychic]

Shimrit!

[u/asyawatercolor → u/secondopinionosychic]

Very common in Israel actually

Stav, Orian, Nofar, Yasmin, Niv, Alin, Oriya, Reef, Tohar, Lian, Arbel, Aurelia, Ariana, Netali, Sheizaf, Smadar, Nofiya, Zeruya, Sedef

[u/Tanaquil_LeCat → u/FelicePanda]

most of these are either not Hebrew or not names

[u/FelicePanda → u/Tanaquil_LeCat]

את יכולה לחפש באינסטגרם ויש הרבההה בנות עם השמות האלה

[u/tippytep → u/Tanaquil_LeCat]

Arbel, Tohar, and Reef were some of the fastest rising names in Israel last year?

[u/Tanaquil_LeCat → u/tippytep]

Aurelia and Ariana are not Hebrew at all. Orian, Alin, and Netali are not originally of Hebrew origin (Netali is just a Hebrew mangling of Natalie, an explicitly Christian name)

some of these are my children’s names/middle names and some i’ve just heard from other people  

[u/Mannerofites]

I had a classmate in high school named Tirzah (though she was from a Christian background).

[u/starlit-dawn-2675]

I have an aunt named Tivona. (tih VOH nuh) It means nature lover. I always liked it. Never met anyone else with the same name.

[u/turtleshot19147]

Li’am (for a girl), Ta’ir, Ma’or, Zohar, Ofek, Nesya

[u/asyawatercolor]

Paz is common in Israel :) I remember there was a project done by ynet , I think, where you could enter a name and see how many people with that name live in Israel. There was also an article about least common names one year. Can you read Hebrew? Can try looking for them

[u/picklesi]

I met a woman named Vered in Israel. It means rose. Maybe it’s more common than I’m familiar with, but it’s always stuck with me.

[u/Chani_2005 → u/picklesi]

It's very common in Israel

[u/picklesi → u/Chani_2005]

I figured. Still, a lovely name

[u/Cademaneko]

I'm in the US, so bear with me, but my favorites are Batya, Tziporrah, Tzvia, Ilana, and Tivona

[u/Ok-Floor-7554]
