Yes. I know someone with that name. No ideas as to what the meaning is . She has it paired with a common name and only goes by the common one.


My family member is named Tuna. She goes by her other pretty uncommon name also.

A lot of the names that others have listed are names that seem familiar and not too strange to me (Tani, Nili, Rashi).

I know a girl named Chavatzelet.

She has a relative named Dodi Lee.

My brother's friend named his kid Bina Rikkel Babsha. I thought the confluence of those 3 names was pretty unique.

I also knew a Krashi (Krasha) many years ago.

I wonder if this Salmon Traut was really Solomon and you misheard?


Ok which sister of mine are you??

Ding ding ding!
You win!
I have heard most if not all of the unusual names here. Some didn’t sound unusual to me. I know Perachya and Pesachya, Paltiels, Chamutals, Lifsha’s and Krassi’s. I even know a Dusi, pretty sure her name is Dusa. But Cheftzivah? No offense if there’s a Cheftzivah here. I’ve heard Cheftzibah a few times, often called Cheftzi, but with veis it sounds like a mispronunciation.

I've also only known one Ditza. It never had the popularity of Gila and Rina.

I love the name Lana!
I know a Rashi whose sister in law is called Sahar. Two names I've never heard of in this generation.
I also grew up by a Dodi Lee who went by Dodi for short.

Some of these are not unusual. Yinon, Itamar, Chananel, Yaara, Liad are common in Israel and Matan I’ve heard outside of Israel too.
I’ve never heard of a Shemesh Yinon.
Hebrew speakers like to name kids after things found in nature, Almog (coral), Gal (wave), Erez (cedar), Yaara (forest), Kochava (star) so I guess Shemesh can fall into that category.
