Very few names start with Vav in Hebrew. The only Biblical Hebrew name is Vashti (ושתי) which is actually a Persian name.


In Modern Hebrew, the only names are variations of Vered (ורד) which mean Rose:

  • Vered (ורד)
  • Varda (ורדה)
  • Vardit (ורדית)

Other name sites list a few others as Hebrew, but these are not Hebrew names:

  • Vanya
  • Vania
  • Vanna
  • Vadit
  • Venyamin (This is just a phonemic variation of Binyamin/Benjamin, found in religious texts only when the previous word ends with a vowel sound.)

Very few. The letter Vav is usually reserved as a prefix meaning "and". Native Hebrew words that begin with Vav are rare. Most words in Hebrew that begin with Vav are of foreign origin. Here is a short list of some native words:

  • ודאי (vah-DAH-ee) certainly
  • ודאות (vah-dah-OOT) certainty
  • וו (vav) hook
  • ורד (vered) rose
  • ותיק (vateek) veteran, a person with seniority
  • וידוי (vidui) confession
  • ותרני (vatrani) compliant

What do the letters for Allah in Arabic mean Is the W or shem type letter a tooth. The first letter on the right- does it picture a tent peg like the Hebrew vav?

You are mixing Hebrew images with Arabic images. the letters for Allah in arabic spell the word "Allah" phonetically. There is no Shin (ש) in Allah, although shin does mean "tooth". There is no Vav (ו) in Allah, although Vav does mean tent peg. The letter tha looks like Vav is actually the Arabic Alif (ا), and the letters that look like shin are actually two lams ( ل ل ) which have the sound of L.
