Meaning & History
Means "lily" in Hebrew, presumably taken from the phrase חבצלת השרון (Chavatzelet HaSharon) "rose of Sharon" found in the Old Testament book the Song of Solomon. (In Israel, Solomon's "rose of Sharon" is popularly accepted to have been the sand lily, which grows in the Sharon plain in coastal sands, though technically the flower has not been identified.)
