Haggith

With the surprising amount of girl names during the period and location suggesting the parents were crushed that they had a daughter, I'm pleasantly surprised to see one that means celebration, fiesta, jubilation.

The name is full of soft sounds and thinking of celebrations before factories and an abundance of easily accessible things, I can see the older form of celebration meaning a harmonious time of a family and community gathering to take care of the new parents and give thanks that the baby was born healthy, and the mother survived childbirth. I can see an uncle traveling half a day and back for a bottle of wine to provide and aunts sharing baby blankets that took them months to create from sheering the sheep to producing the product with the little free time they had.

I think the soft sounds of this name indicate a peaceful, harmonious gathering to welcome the baby instead of the wild and heart pumping partying that are more representative today.

One of the ugliest Biblical girls name I can think of. It reminds me of the word haggis.

Sounds rather Scottish, like Haggis.

This name, when said in English, sounds like someone with a speech impediment saying 'haggis'.
