Geula

גְּאֻלָּה

• Gender: Female
• Origin: Modern Hebrew
• Meaning: redemption, salvation

• Geula means "redemption" in Hebrew, and it touches on one of the most central themes in all of Jewish life. It is the word at the heart of the Passover story, the promise that freedom will come and suffering will end. In Israel, it is also the name of a historic Jerusalem neighborhood, giving it a tangible connection to the land alongside its deep spiritual resonance.

  In a moment when so many Jewish families are thinking deeply about freedom, resilience and hope, this name feels particularly powerful. Israeli singer Geula Gill brought it to the global stage as one of the first Israeli pop artists to perform internationally. It has a warm, grounded sound that wears well from childhood through adulthood — a name tied not just to faith, but to the specific promise of liberation.
