HelpRe: Swedish-Jewish family with 11 kids
in reply to a message by Caprice
Pretty standard for a religious Jewish family. I don't know whether the fact that I never would have guessed they were Swedish is a testament to my own ignorance of Jewish religious naming practice :)
I love Gavriel and Yinnon a lot, and Moria, Rachel (pronounced the Hebrew way) and Adel as well. I also have a soft spot for Ohr, even though it's pretty boring.
And now (because I am a facts-board person at heart):
Yinnon: It comes from the Hebrew word "nin", which used to mean descendant (in modern Hebrew it means great-grandson specifically). This is one of the four names for the messiah according to Chazal.
Ohr is a variant of Or.
