Names that Begin with the Letter MEM for Boys and Girls
In generations past, most Hebrew speakers in Israel and Jews in 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.

In modern Israel, among the new unisex names beginning with the letter MEM you will find MA’AYAN (spring, well, wellspring) and MEITAV (the best, the utmost).
