Meaning of the name אלמוג

Almog is a unique and multifaceted Hebrew name that combines natural beauty, biblical history, and contemporary Israeli culture. The primary meaning of the name is coral - a magnificent marine creature found in the depths of the sea, characterized by vibrant colors and a delicate, branching structure. Coral is considered one of nature's most beautiful wonders, symbolizing beauty, delicacy, and a deep connection to the marine world. Additionally, the name refers to the almug tree mentioned in the Bible, a precious tree brought to King Solomon from distant lands for the construction and furnishing of the Holy Temple. In the Bible, the almug tree is mentioned in several places, primarily in the context of luxury building materials brought to King Solomon. The Book of Kings describes how Hiram, King of Tyre, sent Solomon cedar and almug wood from Lebanon, which Solomon used to build the House of God and the royal palace. The tree was described as exceptionally valuable and was used to create railings, musical instruments, and ornate furniture. Some scholars believe it refers to the algum tree, and that "almog" is a linguistic corruption or alternative version. Regardless, the name carries connotations of luxury, beauty, and royalty. In modern times, the name Almog gained additional meaning as the name of a kibbutz located in the northern Dead Sea area, in the Arava region, giving it a connection to the Israeli landscape and pioneering spirit. As a personal name, Almog became popular in Israel mainly from the 1980s onward, and is perceived as an authentic Israeli name that combines biblical tradition with contemporary freshness. The name carries a sense of connection to nature, the sea, and the landscapes of Israel. It is suitable for both boys and girls, although it is more common among boys. People bearing the name Almog are often perceived as having strong and independent characters, with a deep connection to nature and Israeli roots.
