Amal

עָמָל

• Gender: Male
• Origin: Jew-ish
• Meaning: work

• Amal is a name that lives comfortably in two Semitic languages at once. In Hebrew, it means "work" or "labor," and in Arabic it means "hope" or "aspiration." The name also has a quiet biblical pedigree as a descendant of the tribe of Asher, giving it roots that go back thousands of years.

  It has become an international favorite thanks to its elegant simplicity and cross-cultural resonance. Its dual meaning in Hebrew and Arabic makes it a beautiful bridge name for families who value coexistence — a single name that quietly honors both Semitic traditions with grace and style.
