Mishala

מִשְׁאָלָהּ

• Gender: Female
• Origin: Modern Hebrew
• Meaning: a wish

• Mishala is a poetic Hebrew name drawn from the language of the Psalms, where it carries the meaning of "a wish" or "a request." It has the quality of a quiet prayer set to music, a name that feels like it was lifted from a sacred poem and placed gently into the world. For parents who are drawn to names with spiritual resonance and lyrical beauty, Mishala is a rare and deeply moving find.

  Say it out loud and you'll understand the magic — Mishala feels like a whispered wish made real, soft and lyrical with a sense of hopeful intention. It is virtually unknown outside of Hebrew-speaking circles, giving it an exclusive, almost secret quality. A name your daughter will never share with a classmate, and one that carries a prayer in every syllable.
