Bah; we'll figure out one that's close enough, then. blaugh

I probably wouldn't know an exact one, but I can look it up if you'd like. Divash or Nathan would probably know a lot more accurately, though.

Eh? What would this entail? Having me post my name, or just figuring one out?

Either post your first name, pm it to me, Nathan, or Divash, or try a random Facebook app if you have it: http://hs.facebook.com/apps/application.php?id=11440065553&b&ref=pd


If none of the above, I'll try to think of something else. If all else fails, google it! blaugh

First name: Lewis.

Hmm.... I can't say I knew a Lewis in Hebrew school- the closest names I'd go with are Levi, Yehuda, or Yisrael. Hopefully somebody else knows one, but since this isn't official, that's just a rough estimate. 3nodding

Hmn. I have no idea who I'd be able to ask, but I like Yisrael. wink

Lewis - It is a boy's name of English origin. Anglicization of Louis (Old German, French) "renowned fighter". Author Lewis Carroll. Also, my (Divash's) grandfather's middle name.

Close Hebrew equivalents:

Naftali - mighty wrestlings
Nimrod - great warrior
Yisrael - struggles with G*D
Amazyah - strength of G*D
Amram - mighty nation
Arad - wild ox
Aviaz - father of strength
Azan - power, strength
Chizkiyah - power from G*D

That should get you started. I'm fond of Naftali and Yisrael, myself, but they all have a certain ring to them, no?

I still very much like Yisrael.

(1) I know how to say it.
(2) It kinda clicks with me.
(3) It fits my personality.

Mine's Joel. I know the Hebrew means "G-d is all" or something along those lines. I never found out what it was in Hebrew. Is it still Joel? I've always taken it to be yossel, which I know is Joseph (see username). Anyone give me a hand here?
