Water related words have become popular names in Israel in recent decades. Here are the most common ones.<\/p>\n

\u05d2\u05bc\u05b7\u05dc (gal) is a masculine noun means wave<\/em>. As a name it was\u00a0specified for boys only for many years. Parents who wished to name their newborn daughter after this meaning used different declensions of the noun, such as: \u05d2\u05bc\u05b7\u05dc\u05bc\u05b4\u05d9 (ga-li), \u05d2\u05bc\u05b8\u05dc\u05b4\u05d9\u05ea (ga-lit), \u05d2\u05bc\u05b7\u05dc\u05b0\u05d9\u05b8\u05d4 (gal-ya). Recently, though, it became common to name girls \u05d2\u05bc\u05b7\u05dc as well; Gal Gadot<\/a>, for example \u2013 a famous Israeli actress and model.<\/p>\n

Another Israeli model whose name was inspired by the liquid of life is Maayan Keret<\/a>. \u05de\u05b7\u05e2\u05b0\u05d9\u05b8\u05df (ma-a-yan) is a masculine noun, meaning spring<\/em>. For some reason, maybe because of its sound, it was commonly a female name. I personally have met only two boys so far with the name \u05de\u05b7\u05e2\u05b0\u05d9\u05b8\u05df. \u05d0\u05b2\u05d2\u05b7\u05dd (a-gam) is also a masculine noun \u2013 meaning lake<\/em> \u2013 that is very popular as a female name.<\/p>\n

\u05d9\u05b8\u05dd (yam) means sea<\/em> and is another modern name. Although masculine, it is used for boys and girls. \u05d9\u05b7\u05de\u05bc\u05b4\u05d9\u05ea (ya-mit) is an old variation of the name for girls. The suffix \u05d9\u05ea is added to the word \u05d9\u05b8\u05dd, and creates a name specified for girls. Most of the Hebrew nouns that end with \u05d4 or \u05ea are female. \u05d0\u05b7\u05d3\u05b0\u05d5\u05b8\u05d4 (ad-va), for example, is a feminine noun means ripple<\/em>. It\u2019s actually the only feminine noun in this list, and it fits only girls.<\/p>\n

Other masculine nouns that became popular unisex names are: \u05d9\u05d5\u05bc\u05d1\u05b7\u05dc (yu-val) meaning creek<\/em>; \u05e4\u05bc\u05b6\u05dc\u05b6\u05d2 (pe-leg) meaning brook<\/em>; and \u05e8\u05b4\u05d9\u05e3 (rif), meaning reef<\/em>, that became popular only lately.<\/p>\n
