Thinking about the name
Hershey
Hebrew origin
“While most famously associated with the Hershey chocolate brand and Pennsylvania town, Hershey as a given name draws from the same Hebrew roots as Hershel (Hirsch, 'deer'). As a personal name, it feels whimsical and Americana-inflected, with an inherent sense of sweetness and accessibility.”
