Serach

שֶׂ֣רַח

• Gender: Female
• Origin: Biblical / Rabbinic Hebrew

• Serach is one of the Bible's most intriguing hidden figures — a granddaughter of Jacob whose name appears only briefly in the Torah's genealogies but who looms large in rabbinic imagination. The midrash built an entire legendary life around her, celebrating her as a keeper of ancient wisdom who bridged generations. She fits perfectly into the current trend for rediscovered biblical names like Ada or Zipporah.

  Its soft, airy sound feels surprisingly modern, and the midrashic tales of Serach's extraordinary long life give it an almost mythical quality. For parents who love storied names like Miriam or Tamar but want one that most people have yet to discover, Serach is a truly enchanting choice.
