Bahat
בַּהַט
- Gender: Unisex
- Origin: Modern Hebrew
- Meaning: alabaster
-
Bahat means "alabaster" in Hebrew, connecting it to the rare, luminous stone mentioned in the Book of Esther as adorning the king's palace. Like the stone itself, the name feels refined, subtly strong, and quietly stunning. It is an unusual choice that carries a sense of ancient elegance within a clean, modern sound.
For parents who want something truly unusual with authentic Hebrew roots, this is a hidden gem worth discovering. Its crisp, two-syllable sound is easy to pronounce across languages, and the connection to the Book of Esther gives it a story worth telling. Rare, polished, and luminous — just like its namesake stone.
