My candle or my light
In Hebrew, Neri is a diminutive or variant of Neriah, meaning 'my candle' or 'the Lord is my lamp.' It is often used as a symbolic name representing hope and enlightenment. In some Mediterranean contexts, it is also associated with the Greek word for water, though the Hebrew etymology is most prominent for the name itself.
