Turn Your Name into Hebrew: A Fun and Easy Writing Adventure
Names are personal and learning how to write your own in Hebrew helps kids connect to the alphabet in a meaningful way. It’s a great introduction to new letters, sounds, and right-to-left writing.
How Hebrew Names Work
Hebrew uses a different alphabet with 22 letters. Each English sound doesn’t always have an exact match, but kids can get close by using letters that sound similar.
Steps to Write Your Name in Hebrew
- Say your name slowly. Break it into sounds.
- Match each sound to a Hebrew letter. Use a sound chart or phonetic guide.
- Write from right to left. Start your name on the right side of the page.
- Add vowels if needed. Use dots and dashes (Nikud) to help with pronunciation.
Example:
Name: Maya → מאיה (Mem, Aleph, Yud, Hey)
