Comments for the name Tirzah

This name is pronounced teer-tsah in Hebrew.

Another way to spell this name is TIRZA (from the Hebrew - Old Testaments).

I cannot imagine this name being pronounced as "TUR-zah". "TEER-zah" is what I've heard and how I pronounce it.

Also the name of the sister of Ben Hur, from the book and the film of the same name.

Hmm... I guess I've been reading this name wrong my whole life! I thought it was TIZrah! How silly of me!

This is my friend's dog's name! The dog's middle name is Joy, so she's Tirzah (TEER-zah) Joy! It's a pretty name!

William Blake wrote a poem named 'To Tirzah'.

My sister in law named her daughter Tirzah. She pronounces it Tear-zah.

Different, but I really do like it.

In Francine River's book Redeeming Love, this is one of the names Michael called Angel.

The first time I heard this name (pronounced TEER-zah) was in the movie Ben-Hur. In it, Tirzah was Ben-Hur's sister who, when Ben-Hur was banished, fell ill with leprosy along with her mother. I won't go on, because then I'll spoil the movie!

Anyway, from the first time I heard Tirzah, I thought it was an absolutely beautiful name, full of elegance, spirit, even some sorrow.

This name sounds mean.

This the ONLY site on which I could find MY name! And the site is dead on about the origin! But just to mix it up. My name is TIRSA (tear-sa), my mom thought she was making it more mainstream that way. But really it's the Spanish version!
