About Hebrew names
Hebrew names are among the oldest still in everyday use, carried from the Bible into nearly every Western language. Many contain el or yah, ancient references to God, so names like Daniel, Elijah, and Michael are quietly small sentences. Alongside them run gentler meanings — Hannah's grace, David's belovedness — which helps explain why these names never really leave the rotation.
Meaning and origin are editorial; U.S. popularity comes from Social Security Administration public files.
