Is the name Yahal a good name?
Question
Hello, my son's name is Yahal, and I wanted to know if this name is good. Is it true that names containing letters from Hashem's name are considered good names? I named him that because it means 'spreader of light.' I am now pregnant with a daughter, and I would like to know if you have a name to recommend that would be good.
Answer
Hello and blessings,
The name Yahal is indeed an excellent name that denotes light that influences others. There is special significance in naming with letters from Hashem's name. For a daughter, it is preferable to name her after the matriarchs or righteous women in the Torah, and it is also highly recommended to name after parents or grandparents, provided they were G-d fearing and passed away a natural death.
