Amitai

אֲמִתַּי

• Gender: Male
• Origin: Biblical / Rabbinic Hebrew
• Meaning: my truth

• Amitai comes from the Hebrew word for "my truth," making it a quiet but powerful statement of honesty and personal conviction. In the Bible, Amitai was the father of the prophet Jonah, giving it a scriptural pedigree that runs deeper than many people realize. For parents who value authenticity above all else, Amitai says exactly the right thing.

  A gentle, lyrical quality sets this name apart in a crowd of harder-sounding biblical names. The celebrated Israeli-American author Amitai Etzioni, known for his communitarian philosophy, brought intellectual distinction to the name on the world stage. It feels both ancient and approachable — the kind of name that unfolds slowly, the way integrity does in real life.
