[Facts] Is this a real name
I have seen Yoreh and Jorah listed on several baby name websites as being Hebrew meaning "autumn rain." I found out that in Israel, Yoreh signifies the first rains and the autumn/winter season in Israel. I just want to know if this is actually used as a name in Israel. http://www.legitbabenames.wordpress.com/

There are now so many millions of people registered with Facebook.com that the search function of that site can give interesting hints and probability information whether a name exists or not.Jorah passes this "Facebook test" because the site lists something like 30 people registered with this as their given name; Yoreh doesn't pass, however.Maybe such a heuristic is not scientific enough for some people, but I found it very helpful to weed out non-names and to answer questions like the one at hand.
