ArchivesHewbrew names?
I'm not sure if this is the proper place for this question. I see many links on the front page to names by countries, also mythology, biblical, literary, etc. I see that there is no Hebrew link. (Or Yiddish.) I see there is a Jewish link, but I don't think it's the same thing. Sometimes Hebrew names are added to a different given name at Bat/Bar Mitzvah, other times at birth a child is given two names; one for common usage another that's Hebrew. Some parents seek out a Hebrew name. These names can have similar sound to the chosen name, or a similar meaning, or neither.
I'd be very interested to see various translations of names from English to Hebrew, in the same way the search engine on this site translates to other languages. Is there a reason it isn't here?

"Jewish" covers your needs (read inside)
Hebrew is a language. Jewish is the culture from which Hebrew names originated, and where they are most extensively used.
Your "Hebrew names" are really simply "Jewish names" in the database, because the names are categorised by the culture in which they are used. So search through the Biblical or Jewish categories for the names you seek.
