Hebrew Name Definer
Click on a Hebrew name to know its meaning. Hebrews use only one name. When a boy is circumcised on the eighth day, he is given his name. That name may be added with his father's or mother's name to differentiate it from similar names. Hebrew names come from nature like Caleb - a dog, Cephas - a rock. Some names are combinations of words with social or religious meaning. El [God] can be combined with many relationships to form names such as Eleazar - God is a helper, Eliezer - God of help.
