Jewish / Hebrew names with J/Y

eisenberg0814

My father's name was Joachim and I want to name my baby after him. We will have 2 names and one of them should start with Y or even Yo. Jochevet is beuatiful, but which other names can you come up with?

Boy names:

Jonah, Joshua, Jonathan, Joseph, Joel

 

For girls, I'm a little stumped.  Yafa/Yafit is the only "Y" feminine Hebrew name I know off the top of my head.   And Judith is the only "J" name I can think of.

Baby Name Wizard's Namefinder found these boy names:

Jaco, Jaron, Jascha, Jehu, Josephus.

Yael or Jael for a girl or boy, and Yehudit for a girl.

More names popped up when I put in Old Testament rather than Jewish, so you might want to try that site. It's babynamewizard.com and click on Namefinder.

I love Yale for a girl. I'd go with Jacob/Yacob or maybe Yehuda for a boy.
