[Opinions] Re: Tsarebeth (Zarabeth)
It sounds like it could be a fairly good name until one discovers that it's not a name at all but a Hebrew word meaning 'scab', 'burning', and 'inflammation'. After knowing the meaning, it's not something that I would use. It sounds nice, but the meaning ruins it.Also, Tsaphira doesn't mean 'crown', it means 'sapphire'. It could make for a decent name.If you're looking for Hebrew names, you might like:Girls:Aviva

Interesting info! Do you speak Hebrew?

I wouldn't call myself a fluent speaker, but I've had several years of classes/training in Hebrew and Torah studies. Plus, I kind of study Hebrew names and I've come across many names and meanings. It's a hobby of sorts.
