Hello, I'm looking for the name Sephrah, Sefra, not sure how it's spelled but that is how it's pronounced .... my fiance says it's in the bible but I cannot find it on this site. I was wondering if it's spelled differently or anyone knows the meaning.

Thanks,
Lisa

My dad also said that it is from the bible. I am named as Sephrah, which is actually Zipporah in the Bible. Zipporah or Tzipora is mentioned in the Book of Exodus as the wife of Moses, and the daughter of Reuel/Jethro, the priest and prince of Midian. I think that is why I was called as Sephrah is because of how the actors/actresses in the movie called "The Ten commandments" pronounced it in that way.

I see Sephrah as being a variation of Sephora, which is the New Testament spelling of Zipporah, the name of Moses' wife.

Either Shifra, or Tziporah (French Séphora)?

Maybe he's thinking of Shiphrah?

Quite probably...

..the Latin form of Shiphrah is Sephra, and the form in the Douay-Rheims Bible which used to be the most common among English speaking Catholics is Sephora.
