Kerith

כְּרִית

• Gender: Female
• Origin: Biblical English
• Meaning: to cut off

• In the Hebrew Bible, Kerith is the name of the hidden brook where the prophet Elijah took refuge during a devastating drought, sustained by ravens who brought him bread and meat. It is a place-name tied to divine provision and quiet sanctuary in a moment of crisis. The name means "to cut off," referring to the remote wadi that sheltered Elijah from the world.

  Kerith has a gentle, flowing sound that feels both biblical and surprisingly fresh. It sits beautifully alongside the current wave of soft, nature-inspired names without blending into the crowd. A hidden brook, a prophet in hiding, ravens carrying bread at dawn — that is the story tucked inside this name.
