A small river or stream
Derived from Hebrew, Nahal refers to a stream, brook, or valley through which water flows. It is a nature-inspired name that evokes a sense of movement and tranquility. In modern Israel, it is also associated with a pioneering youth program, though its primary use as a name remains rooted in the landscape.
