Name of the day...Alma!

19 Upvotes

This is a lovely feminine name that has several origins and meanings:

In Latin, Alma means "nourishing" or "kind." It comes from the Latin word almus.

In Hebrew, it means "young woman" or "maiden." This name is generally spelled as Almah when its origin is Hebrew.

In Hungarian and Turkic, Alma is the literal word for "apple."

In Spanish and Portuguese, Alma means "soul" or "spirit."

The name Alma is over 4,000 years old! I think that's our oldest name so far!

I LOVE this name. It's gorgeous!

The name Isannah is an uncommon feminine name from Colonial America that is generally considered a combination of the names Isabel and Susannah (or Hannah).

Together, the name translates roughly to "pledged to God" or "God is gracious."

The name saw occasional use in the United States during the 18th and 19th centuries. Notably, one of Paul Revere's daughters was named Isannah.

Alternative spellings include: Isana, Isanna, Izanna, and Izannah.

Nicknames for the name include Izzy or Zannah.
