Ori

אוֹרִי

• Gender: Male
• Origin: Modern Hebrew
• Meaning: my light

• Ori means "my light" in Hebrew, adding a tender, personal possessive to one of Judaism's most beloved symbols. It is wildly popular in Israel, where its upbeat, three-letter energy has made it a perennial favorite among young families for years. The name also carries echoes of ancient texts where it appears as a command to shine, giving it a sense of purpose and radiance that goes beyond simple illumination.

  Playful and profound at the same time, it is a tiny package with enormous light inside. Gal Gadot chose Ori for her youngest daughter, giving the name a burst of Hollywood star power with deep Israeli roots. It works beautifully in English and Hebrew, making it a natural fit for families who move between both worlds.
