A persons name can tell us so much about who they are as a person and is an inherent part of one’s identity. Jewish tradition holds that a name is connected back to the original namesake, sharing character traits and attributes.

In modern society, many popular names are influenced by pop culture. According to Nameberry, movie and television inspired names such as Katniss, Hazel, Elsa, Aria and Khaleesi are growing in popularity.
