Alfred J. Kolatch, a rabbi and author of many best-selling books (including The Jewish Book of Why ), has compiled this dictionary of popular Hebrew names that correspond in meaning with English names. Beginning with a fascinating introduction that briefly explains the origins of names and the Jewish naming process, the book continues with separate alphabetical listings of English masculine and feminine names. Each English name is defined and matched with its Hebrew equivalents. Equivalents for the opposite sex are also provided. Entries for English names that are derived from Hebrew include Hebrew script and spelling as well. A greatly expanded version of the highly popular The Name Dictionary , first published in 1967, this volume contains over 10,000 entries, including hundreds of English and Hebrew names of recent vintage. This is an invaluable guide for parents searching for a Hebrew name with the same meaning as an English name or for an English name with the same meaning as a Hebrew name. Contains a comprehensive index of all Hebrew names in transliterated form.
