Names that Begin with the Letter YUD for Boys and Girls
In generations past, most Hebrew speakers in Israel and Jews ins the diaspora chose Biblical names for their children. Generally, names given to boys and girls were Biblical in origin and gender-specific. Nowadays, past name-choice practices are still prevalent, but many parents do not limit themselves to Biblical nor gender-specific naming.
