Reply to: Kineret ? (Israel) by Lily8
The Kineret is a lake in the north of Israel. It gets its name from the word kinor, meaning violin, because it has the shape of a violin. It's rare as a name in Israel, but I met one once.

Hadar is in the database, and is more common than Kineret.

Hadar: prn. hah-DAHR; Kineret: prn. kee-NEH-ret.
