Ditza

דִיצָה

• Gender: Female
• Origin: Modern Hebrew
• Meaning: joy

• Ditza (also spelled Ditzah) means "joy" in Hebrew, and it holds a special place in Jewish liturgy. The word appears in the sheva brachot, the seven wedding blessings, calling for happiness to fill the streets of Jerusalem. Its connection to sacred celebration gives it a depth that goes beyond generic happiness names.

  Say it out loud and you can practically hear the fizz — Ditza sparkles from the first syllable. It has the spirit of Simcha and the brightness of Aliza but with a little more zip, a little more effervescence. A name that sounds like a celebration feels like exactly the right way to welcome a baby.
