Gurit

גּוּרִית

• Gender: Female
• Origin: Modern Hebrew
• Meaning: young lioness

• Gurit is the feminine form of Gur, meaning "young lioness" in Hebrew, and it carries a fierce, proud energy that is hard to find in other girls' names. It also boasts a wonderful modern namesake in Gurit Kadman, widely celebrated as the mother of Israeli folk dance. That combination of leonine strength and cultural creativity makes Gurit a name with real personality.

  Fierce, fabulous, and tailor-made for parents who want their daughter's name to roar — that is the energy here. Its connection to Israeli folk dance gives it an artistic, kinetic quality that goes beyond the animal meaning. Truly rare and brimming with Israeli character, Gurit is a lively and empowering pick.
