More ideas: names popular in Israel

For additional baby name ideas, here is a collection of girls’ names that are widely embraced in Israel but tend to appear unconventional in the United States.

Will any Hebrew names for girls go viral in 2025?

It looks that way, yes!

There are four stand-out names poised for dramatic growth this year. Here they are in order of most likely to go viral:

Alma

Alma has skyrocketed from #2096 to #228 in England & Wales since 1996, with its steepest growth occurring in the last five years.

While many don’t recognize Alma as a Hebrew name, it has deep historical Jewish connections, appearing in the Bible and meaning “young woman” in Hebrew alongside its Latin meaning of “soul.”

This Hebrew gem ranks in the top 10 in multiple European countries: #3 in Sweden, #4 in Denmark, #7 in France, and #9 in Norway.

Currently ranked #461 in the U.S., Alma sits in the perfect position for viral growth – remarkably similar to where Nova was before its explosive rise to the top 35.

Gal Gadot, the Israeli actress, chose Alma for her daughter in 2011, highlighting its Hebrew heritage, and Paul Dano and Zoe Kazan followed suit with Alma Bay in 2018.

With its meaning resonating across multiple languages plus recent pop culture visibility through The Handmaid’s Tale, Alma hits all the markers of a Hebrew girl name about to explode.

Don’t be surprised to see Alma in the top 200 by 2025.

Raya

After first appearing in the U.S. top 1000 in 2020 at #932, Raya (meaning “friend” in Hebrew) has skyrocketed 579 positions to #353 in just three years.

This meteoric rise includes a 48-spot jump between 2022-2023 alone, showing the momentum is still building for this beautiful Hebrew name.

The name gained additional visibility through Disney’s adventure Raya and the Last Dragon, which received official Disney Princess status in August 2022.

Its current ranking position (#353) is ideal for viral growth – established enough to be familiar but with plenty of room to climb.

The name offers appealing pronunciation options (“RYE-uh” or “RAY-uh”), making it accessible across cultures while maintaining its Hebrew roots.

For parents seeking a Hebrew girl name with contemporary appeal that isn’t overused, Raya offers the perfect balance of tradition and modernity.

Eden

Eden reached its highest rank ever (#77) in 2023 after a dramatic 34% rise in popularity.

This paradise-inspired Hebrew name made an incredible 40-spot leap from #117 in 2022, showing the kind of explosive momentum that often precedes viral growth.

What makes Eden particularly compelling among Hebrew girl names is that this acceleration is happening at a highly competitive ranking level, where significant moves are much harder to achieve.

The name’s international appeal is striking – it ranks strongly across English-speaking countries (US #77, Australia #75, England #87), a pattern often seen before a name goes viral in the US.

Eden hits multiple sweet spots in current naming trends: it’s a biblical Hebrew name with deep spiritual significance, offers nature connections, and provides gender-neutral appeal.

With its perfect combination of Hebrew heritage and contemporary style, Eden is positioned to continue its remarkable climb in popularity.

Evie

Currently ranked at #265 in the US, this charming vintage nickname with Hebrew roots is showing all the signs of a name about to explode.

While Americans are just discovering Evie, a diminutive of the Hebrew name Eve (meaning “life-giver”), it’s already a smash hit internationally – ranking #19 in Scotland, #24 in England, and #25 in both Ireland and Australia.

This pattern of international popularity preceding US success mirrors the trajectory of viral hits like Luna and Isla.

The name’s visibility got a significant boost from Sofia Carson’s portrayal of Evie, daughter of the Evil Queen, in Disney’s Descendants franchise.

For parents seeking a Hebrew girl name that blends ancient meaning with playful modern appeal, Evie offers the perfect solution – substantial enough for a professional setting yet youthful and spirited.

Hebrew Girl Names: Trend Analysis

The comprehensive landscape of Hebrew girl names in 2025 reveals 67 distinctly Hebrew names ranking in the U.S. top 1000, with dozens more showing Hebrew influence or roots—demonstrating remarkable cultural staying power and evolution.

The highest-ranking authentic Hebrew names occupy impressive positions in the top 100:

• Mia (#6) – derived from Miriam
• Ava (#8) – meaning “life”
• Delilah (#52) – meaning “delicate”

Names celebrating life appear frequently among the most successful Hebrew options. The Ava/Eva/Eve/Evie cluster (#8/#112/#600/#266) showcases this life-affirming theme across multiple variants, with Evie showing particular momentum (↑10).

Divine connections remain a powerful driver for Hebrew naming choices. The “El” element (signifying God) appears in 15 ranked names, with Eliana (#35, ↑8) leading this category with its meaning “God has answered.”

Sound patterns reveal distinct preferences among trending Hebrew names:

• Long names show exceptional growth: Seraphina (#975, ↑65), Azariah (#571, ↑55)
• Short, vowel-forward names dominate the highest rankings: Eden (#78, ↑40), Ava (#8)
• Names ending with “ah” or “a” represent 70% of trending Hebrew options

The Israeli-American crossover creates a fascinating subset of names popular in both countries. Abigail (#31 US, #1 Israel) exemplifies how traditional Hebrew names achieve mainstream success in diverse cultures.

Several once-outdated Hebrew names have definitively returned rather than merely hanging on. Selah (#303, ↑56) with its meditative meaning “to pause and reflect” demonstrates complete revival, while Dana (#970) represents the opposite end, barely maintaining its place in the rankings.

Names with nature connections show particular resonance. Eden (#78, ↑40) meaning “paradise” and Dahlia (#253) referencing a flowering plant illustrate how Hebrew nature names align perfectly with contemporary eco-conscious naming trends.

The viral potential of specific Hebrew names aligns with clear patterns of international success paired with meaningful etymology. Alma (#461, ↑20) and Evie (#266, ↑10) both demonstrate exceptional momentum internationally before domestic explosion.

The unranked Hebrew options contain several surprising absences given current trends. Aviva (meaning “spring”) aligns perfectly with the popular sounds and meanings currently succeeding, suggesting potential future emergence.

Looking ahead to 2025, Hebrew girl names will continue their upward trajectory with several key predictions:

• Alma will likely enter the top 300 by year-end as its viral potential materializes
• Expect Sariyah (#577, ↑156) to maintain its dramatic rise with the most impressive upward momentum
• Watch for unranked Nava to potentially enter the rankings as parents seek fresh alternatives to Nova and Ava

If you’re considering a Hebrew girl name for your daughter, today’s naming landscape offers exceptional variety—from timeless classics to emerging trendsetters—allowing you to select a name with both cultural significance and stylistic relevance for your little one.
