My God is my light
A modern Hebrew name derived from the elements 'Yah' (referring to God) and 'Heli' (meaning my light). It is often used to express the idea that the child is a divine light or that God provides guidance and brightness. It is part of a contemporary trend in Israel for names that combine spiritual elements with light-based imagery.
