Uri

אוּרִי

• Gender: Male
• Origin: Biblical / Rabbinic Hebrew
• Meaning: my light

• Meaning "my light" in Hebrew, Uri has deep biblical roots as the father of Bezalel, the master artisan who designed the Tabernacle. It is a name often chosen for babies born around Hanukkah, when its radiant meaning feels especially fitting. With just two syllables and a warm, friendly sound, Uri has the kind of effortless charm that makes people smile the moment they hear it.

  Israeli-born entertainer and self-proclaimed psychic Uri Geller became a household name with his televised spoon-bending demonstrations in the 1970s. Having a quiet moment right now, popping up on stylish baby name lists alongside Nico and Milo, Uri works beautifully across languages and ages gracefully from toddlerhood to tenure without missing a beat. Its luminous meaning never feels heavy, and its simplicity is its superpower. Two syllables, infinite warmth.
