Naphthali
n(a)-phtha-li,
naph-thali
Origin:Hebrew
Meaning:My struggle, my strife; My wrestling
Naphthali is a masculine name of Hebrew origin for the little one who demonstrates courage in victory and strife. A variant of Naphtali, Naphthali might resonate if you are familiar with The Book of Genesis in the Hebrew Bible and the Christian Old Testament. In these texts, Naphtali is the name of the sixth son of Jacob, whose descendants later established one of the 12 tribes of Israel. While little Naphthali’s name may be spelled a little differently, they can still learn about its biblical significance. When translated from Hebrew, Naphthali means “my struggle,” “my strife,” or “my wrestling,” so perhaps baby will be someone who knows that the greatest gifts are worth striving towards and fighting for.
