77 Unique Jewish Baby Boy Names

Jewish names have deep historical, religious, and cultural significance, often reflecting biblical origins, Hebrew meanings, and family heritage. Many Jewish names are derived from the Torah, the first five books of the Hebrew Bible, namely Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy, while others have Yiddish, Ladino, or modern Israeli influences. 


Naming traditions vary across Jewish communities, for instance, Ashkenazi Jews traditionally name children after deceased relatives, while Sephardic Jews may honor living grandparents. Over time, Jewish names have also adapted to local languages and cultures, blending tradition with contemporary influences.


Today, many people choose Hebrew names for their deep spiritual connections and timeless significance, preserving a link to Jewish heritage and faith.
