Hebrew Baby Names

Noah, Sarah, David, Hannah — these names have been in continuous use for roughly three thousand years, an almost unparalleled record. Hebrew names draw their power from narrative: each one is tied to a specific story, a moment of faith or struggle or joy. That depth of meaning is why they resonate with parents of all backgrounds, not just those with ties to the tradition.
