I'm creating a character and I need a female Jewish name for someone living in the early 1900's...
Please help :)
I need a traditional JEWISH name!?
Rivka; Ruth; Miriam; Chana (pronounced more or less like "Hannah"); Chava; Sarah/Sarai; Leah; Rachel; Rebecca; Bikura; Brachah; Zara; Zipporah/Tsipporah; Chaya; Vashti; Tikvah; Tzafira; Tzviya; Penina; Devorah; Dafna; Elisheva; Elinah; Ysabet... lots more, but maybe you will see on that strikes the right chord with you :-)
Reply:How about Ruth or Ester?
Reply:Miriam
Rachel
Reply:D'vora
Rivka
Sarah
Esther
Mirium
Leah
Malka Leah
Rachel
Frume
Yehudis
Hadassah
Bracha
Chaya
Ariella
Efrat
Elisheva
Deena
There are many more, but these are the names of my neices, and the women in my community!
Good luck

Reply:Golda......Golda Meir was born in 1898 and went on to become Prime Minister of Israel in 1967. The time frame in which you're focusing would certainly lend credibility to your character's name choice.
Reply:Sarah, Rachael, Leah, Deborah, Ruth, Naomi
Just to name a few.
