Did you know?
- If a person named אמנדה were to introduce herself in a very formal Hebrew setting, she might be asked if it is a 'foreign' name, as the name does not exist in the Hebrew Bible or ancient liturgy.
- Unlike English, where names are often capitalized, Hebrew has no distinction between upper and lower case. Whether at the start of a sentence or in the middle, אמנדה remains in its standard form.
- The letter א at the beginning of אמנדה is an 'Aleph'. In Hebrew, this is a silent carrier for a vowel rather than a hard 'A' sound itself, though it functions as the start of the name.
Examples in context
- קוראים לה אמנדה.kor'im la Amanda.Her name is Amanda.
- אמנדה היא חברה טובה שלי.Amanda hi khavara tova sheli.Amanda is a good friend of mine.
