Is the name Aviah good for a girl?
Question
Hello, esteemed rabbi,
We are a Hasidic couple (balai teshuva) and it is very important for me to choose a good name, but I find it very difficult with names from the Bible.
I wanted to ask
About the name Aviah, is it a good and suitable name for a girl?
About the names Alma and Adi, are these good names and are they permissible to use?
Thank you very much.
Answer
Hello,
The name Aviah is good for a girl; this was the name of the wife of Chatzron ben Peretz (1 Chronicles 2:24), as well as the mother of King Chizkiyahu (2 Chronicles 29:1). However, the names Alma and Adi are not particularly recommended.
Best regards,
Hillel Meirs
