יִגְדַּל

• Gender: Male

• Meaning: become grand, grow

• If you have ever been moved by the soaring melody that closes a Friday night service, you already know Yigdal in your bones. The name itself means "become grand" or "grow," which gives it an optimistic, forward-looking energy that fits right in with current naming trends. It is an under-the-radar gem for families who want something steeped in tradition but with a surprisingly fresh and contemporary feel.
