Thinking about the name
Gal
Hebrew origin
“A Hebrew name meaning 'wave' or 'fountain,' Gal carries both fluidity and life-giving connotations. Short and punchy, it's become increasingly popular in Israel and among Hebrew-speaking communities as a modern, unisex option. The name evokes natural beauty and movement while remaining simple and distinctive.”
