Song, melody, or palm tree
In Hebrew, the name is derived from the root meaning 'song' or 'melody,' often associated with religious hymns. It is also sometimes linked to the word for a branch or palm tree. In the Old Testament, it appears as a masculine name, but it is used almost exclusively for girls in modern contexts.
