The Name Nehorai for a Boy
Question
Hello, is the name Nehorai recommended for a boy? What is the origin of the name? Who was Nehorai? I would be glad to receive a bit of information and a recommendation whether this is a good name for a boy.
Thank you very much
Answer
Shalom u-vracha,
The name Nehorai is good and recommended for a boy - see in Tractate Eruvin (13b) that Rabbi Meir's actual name was Nehorai, but he was called Meir because he illuminates the eyes of the sages in halacha.
With blessings,
Hillel Meirs
