Thinking about the name

Nephtali

Hebrew origin

A variant spelling of Naphtali, one of the twelve tribes of Israel in biblical tradition, meaning 'my wrestling' or 'wrestled with God' in Hebrew. This name carries Old Testament gravitas and suggests spiritual struggle and perseverance. It appeals to parents seeking a deeply biblical, uncommon name with authentic ancient roots.
