Does anyone know of a name/word (word that could be used for a name, for a female) that means "dark"?

Biblical...Old or New Testament.

Thanks in advance!

Lila (LIGH-luh) is the word for night in Hebrew.It doesn't mean "dark" but is along that line.

HEBREW:

aFEL - dark
khaSHOKH - dark
KHOshekh - darkness
te'uhFA - darkness
tsel - darkness, shade
tsiLLA - shade (refreshment), dark (wife of Lamech, known as Zillah in English Bibles, Gen 4:19)

GREEK:

skoTIa - darkness
MElas (m.) / MElaina (f.) - black (hence Melanie)

An online dictionary (obviously modern Greek) also lists:
maurideros, skuhros and a few others which don't really sound like names.

My favourite is ZILLAH (for a girl)

I'm answering my own question-

Thought of Raven, which actually means "raven"...but is dark, and often used for a girl.
