Other parents pick unrelated English and Hebrew names, deciding instead on a Hebrew name that evokes special meaning or significance for them. Biblical names and names of relatives are the most common Hebrew names, but names are also chosen to reflect:
A holiday, season or month
An animal, plant or flower
Place names of special meaning, especially places in Israel
A name that appears in the parashah, the weekly Torah portion, around the time of the child's birth (popular among Orthodox Jews)
Jewish or Israeli celebrities
Jewish or Israeli historical figures
