This is my name, and I went through a phase of hating it, but now I love it! It’s pretty, unique (even though one of my best friends has it too, which is strange!) and has a great meaning and history. Since I am Jewish and speak Hebrew, I love this meaning too.
This is my name, and, although it's not my favourite, I really like it. I'm Jewish, and I can speak Hebrew, so I love how this name represents my heritage.
According to Wikipedia, the word “Almah” (עַלְמָה ‘almāh) comes from a root meaning “to be full of vigour, to have reached puberty”. It basically refers to a woman of childbearing age without implying virginity.
