A Girl’s Name: Tehila

AA

Question

Hello, Rabbi,

My wife wants to name our daughter Tehila. I am rather conservative and do not like new names. The name is common, but if the rabbi knows more about the source of this name for people other than in Psalms and Tehila LeDavid, etc., that would be enough for me. It would also help if people of importance in the previous generation also used this name.

Thank you very much!

Answer

Greetings and blessings,

Although the name is good in and of itself, we did not find that it was used by earlier generations.

With blessings,

Binyamin Shmueli
