Which name is better, Lavie or Eitan?
Question
Hello, Rabbi.
My wife and I would be glad to know which name, in your opinion, is better: Lavie or Eitan.
Thank you in advance
Answer
Hello,
There is an advantage to the name Eitan, because this name is mentioned in Sefer Melakhim I (chapter 5, verse 11) and in Sefer Tehillim (chapter 89, verse 1), and our Sages said in Masekhet Bava Batra (folio 15a) that it is a nickname for our father Abraham. See there.
With blessings,
Hillel Meirs
