Yael
Yael is a feminine name of Hebrew origin. It derives from the Hebrew word 'ya'el', which means 'mountain goat' or 'ibex'. In the Bible, Yael was the name of a heroine who helped defeat the Canaanite army by killing their general, Sisera.
The name has been popular among Jews for centuries and is associated with strength, courage, and heroism, reflecting the biblical story of Yael's bravery.
In modern times, Yael has become a popular name in Israel and among Jewish communities around the world. It is also used by some non-Jewish families who appreciate its unique sound and meaning.
While the name has biblical roots, it has a fresh and naturalistic feel, evoking images of the nimble mountain goat and the rugged beauty of the outdoors.
