What is the meaning of the name Zohar according to Kabbalah?

Hello,

There is no such name in the Bible, Zohar, but rather it is a word mentioned in the book of Ezekiel (8:2), and likewise it is mentioned in the book of Daniel (12:3): "And the wise shall shine like the brightness of the firmament," and its meaning, according to the Metzudat David there, is: "illumination and sunrise."

It is possible to name a child this name in hope that he will add light (=illumination) to his parents' lives, while the true light is the light of the Torah, as it is said (Proverbs 6:23): "For a mitzvah is a lamp, and Torah is light."

With blessings,
