Naftali
Hebrew origin
“From the Hebrew נַפְתָּלִי (Naftali), meaning 'my wrestling' or 'my struggle,' derived from the biblical account where Jacob's wife Bilhah named her son with a sense of spiritual wrestling and triumph. Naftali carries deep biblical resonance and is traditionally a Hebrew masculine name with strong ties to Jewish heritage and identity.”
