גִּבּוֹר

• Gibor is the Hebrew word for "hero" or "mighty warrior," and it does not leave much to the imagination. This is a name that says exactly what it means, with no subtlety required. In a naming landscape full of gentle nature names and soft sounds, it cuts through with unapologetic boldness.

  Two crisp syllables, easy to say in any language, and a meaning that speaks for itself. It ages brilliantly from a tough little kid to a commanding adult. The kind of name that carries built-in confidence without borrowing from English word names — pure Hebrew muscle.
