Help[Facts] Re: Name books and Chava
in reply to a message by Noa
Thank you, Noa,
I get your point. "Sefer shmot" is "Exodus" in English bibles, I should have known that. But anyway, I think there must be name books in Israel, especially concerning biblical names. But obviously they are hard to find. A list of biblical names would deifinitely be more than a list, as the meaning of many of them is debated. So i was hoping to get some up to date information. But thanx anyway.
Now take Shlomo for example: The original meaning of this name ist not "peaceful", but "given to (re)complete the family" (i.e. for a child that has died) from the verb "leshallem" = to pay (back), refund.
Have a good time!
