Nechum
n(e)-chum
Origin:Hebrew
Meaning:Comforter
Whether they’re in need of encouragement or just a well-earned hug, little Nechum will know they can turn to you. Only one letter separates this masculine moniker from the Hebrew title Nachum. You might recognize Nachum as a variant of Nahum, the name of a minor prophet in the Hebrew Bible. Nechum, Nachum, and Nahum all translate to “comforter,” so perhaps baby will quickly learn that care and support come in all forms. From small acts of kindness to moments of empathy, your Nechum’s life will be filled with opportunities to give and receive comfort.
