Letter Name Meaning

Each Hebrew letter has a name, and that name is usually a real Hebrew word. The meaning of that word helps us understand what the letter stands for.

Example:

  • The letter ג (Gimel) is named after גמל, which means camel. A camel carries things and follows, so Gimel can mean to pursue or lift up—just like Christ pursued the bride.
  • מ (Mem) is related to מים, which means water—a symbol of the Word or Spirit.

This adds another layer to how letters reveal Christ.
