Jewish Baby Name
Orthodox Jews and Israelis often give their children a Jewish name which is sometimes used for everyday but usually for religious purposes. Various religious rituals require a Jewish name and these names are used for calling people to the Torah. It has therefore become traditional for Jewish parents to give their children two names' - a Jewish name and a Worldly or secular name.
