Choosing a Hebrew Name for Your Son

Naming a son is one of the most profound moments in Jewish life. The Hebrew name (shem hakodesh) will be used at his bris, bar mitzvah, Torah readings, and throughout his life in prayer. In Jewish tradition, a name is not merely a label — it reflects the essence of the soul and shapes destiny.

Many families choose names that honor deceased relatives (Ashkenazi tradition) or living grandparents (Sephardic tradition). Biblical names like David, Abraham, and Moses connect a child to the great figures of Jewish history. Modern Israeli names like Eitan (strong), Noam (pleasant), and Ori (my light) blend tradition with contemporary Hebrew culture.

Each Hebrew name carries a gematria — a numerical value calculated from its letters. Many parents explore the gematria of potential names to discover deeper connections. Use our Gematria Calculator to explore the numerical significance of any name.
