[Opinions] Anina
What do you think of the Hebrew (more specifically Aramiac) name Anina?Do you have any suggestions for a middle name? I'd really like another Hebrew name, but suggestions of non-Hebrew names are welcome, too. :) _____

Anina Irit and Anina Iris are gorgeous! Very beautiful, indeed. I'm don't really like the anglicised Jael, but I really love the Hebrew form of Yael. The only downside is that it means "mountain goat" (it also can mean "ascend"). The upside is that it's the name of a heroine in the Tanakh._____

I'm not one to obsess over meanings. I mean, look at the meanings of names most people are using? Caleb means dog and Rachel means ewe. Doesn't mean they're bad names! So I wouldn't worry too much about Yael's meaning. Just sayinging...I like Anina. It's very pretty. Anina Clarisse? Anina Fern? Anina Roseanne?Arcadia

It's just an object. It doesn't mean what you think

Meanings don't bother me too much in general unless they're particularly horrid. One of my favourite combos is Aviva Yaen which together means "spring ostrich", LOL. I don't know if I'll be using that one as it seems a little too much. I'm on the fence at the moment on "mountain goat", though. :/Anina Fern has a pretty simplicity to it. I like it!_____

Mountain goats are cute.When my youngest sister was little, my mum referred to her as "the little mountain goat," because she climbed all over the furniture. Much better than my nickname for her--I called her "the shark" because she bit! :DBut then, meanings don't bother me at all. While I try to remember them, for triva's sake, all meaning comes from my associations with a name.I really like the suggestion of Anina Fern, too--it sounds really lovely green-and-red to me. :)Array

LOL! Mountain goat--what a cute nickname! That can apply to almost any wee one as they all have a proclivity to put anything and everything in their mouths and climb on top of everything.I had a nickname for my little sibling, too. I called him "the beast" because he was so mean. :)_____

Anina is a Hebrew nameAnina can be a German nickname for Anne/Anna, but it is also a Hebrew (more specifically Aramaic) name. One of the prayers used for Yom Kippur starts out as Aninu Shekhina, "Aninu" simply meaning "Answer our prayer" whereas Anina means "Answer my prayer". It's a fairly obscure name, not popular at all.Anina Lillian is very pretty. :)_____

I like that it means "Answer my prayer" just as I like that Miriam means "bitterly wished for child." How exactly is Anina pronounced? They might make great sister names!"No one can make you feel inferior without your consent."

About the name Miriam (Miryam)Anina is pronounced a-NEE-na, like Nina with an "a" in front of it.As for Miriam or the phonetical Hebrew, Miryam (meer-YAWM), there's some difference of opinion among scholars as to what the name actually means. Miryam is made up of two Hebrew words, mar meaning "bitter" and yam meaning "sea" (and water, as well). So, while it translates in Hebrew as meaning "bitter sea/water", there's still some debate over the actual meaning of Miryam, perhaps due to translations in other launguages. Other meanings that I've seen are "rising waters" and "rebellious". I'm not sure where they come from, one explanation could be the association with Moshe's sister. No matter the meaning, I rather like Anina and Miryam as sister names. Thanks for pointing that out. :)
