We recently named our baby ‘Dovid’ after a close relative of mine. Anyone know the meaning of his name?
Other names I’d like to know their meaning:
Avner, Frumit, Bashi, Binyomin, and Yonason to name a few.
For Binyomin, see Rashi where the name is first used.
Basha comes from Batya.
Yonason comes from Yehonasan which probably means Hashem gave.
Anyone want to try and translate Ester and Mordechai?
Avner, Frumit, Bashi, Binyomin, and Yonason to name a few.
Avner – The father of the candle (or alternativel, the father of Ner), Frumit – the religious one, Binyomin (the son of the right (hand), and Yonason – G-d gave. Bashi probably IS a derivative of Batya.
I don’t know for certain, but perhaps Dovid comes from “Dod” or loved one (as in Ani l’dodi.) It is spelled exactly the same in Hebrew.
Well I know an Ester is a chemical compound derived by reacting an oxoacid with a hydroxyl compound such as an alcohol or phenol. Maybe she smelled nice. Mordechai I don’t know, is it some kind of slang? Like, “more da chai mon” – Judeo-Jamaican for “more life”.
Yitay: What type of trolling was my question? Reverse type 3?
Mordechai is from muruh dachya which is targum’s translation for one of the besamim in the ketores.
Baila- spelled bais yud lamed alef-is an acronym for baruch Hashem leolam amen.
Esther – ?? ????? ????? ?? ??? – hidden
Mordechai – ??? ???? – a type of sweet smelling plant
Deeper meaning of Dovid:
“Dal(ed)”, poor (humble), before, when an outcast, “v’dal”, and still the same humble (va’ani tola’as) after he was melech Yisrael.
