Limor is a unique and modern Hebrew name created from the creative combination of two Hebrew words: "li" - a possessive word expressing personal closeness, and "mor" - a valuable aromatic plant mentioned in the Bible. The name conveys a sense of intimacy and closeness while incorporating natural beauty and deep spiritual meaning. Myrrh is a thorny shrub from the Burseraceae family that grew in the Middle East and Africa, from which an aromatic resin with a strong and intoxicating fragrance is extracted. In the ancient world, myrrh was considered one of the most precious and sought-after perfumes, used for religious, medicinal, and cosmetic purposes. In the Bible, myrrh appears in many places as a symbol of luxury, holiness, and love. In the Song of Songs, myrrh is mentioned several times as a perfume that arouses desire and romance: "A bundle of myrrh is my beloved to me, he shall lie all night between my breasts" (Song of Songs 1:13). Additionally, myrrh oil served as one of the components of the holy anointing oil used to anoint the vessels of the Tabernacle and the priests: "Take thou also unto thee principal spices, of pure myrrh five hundred shekels" (Exodus 30:23). Myrrh was also part of the incense offering burned in the Temple and was considered to have purifying and sanctifying properties. The name Limor, therefore, carries all these rich meanings - holiness, beauty, pleasant fragrance, and elevated spiritual value. The name Limor began to spread in Israel mainly from the 1970s and 1980s, as part of a wave of new Hebrew names created through creative combinations of existing words. The name expresses the desire of Israeli parents to give their daughters names that are both Hebrew and modern, names with deep meaning that also sound contemporary and fresh. Limor is a distinctly feminine name that conveys gentleness and femininity alongside strength of character. The soft sound of the name, together with its aromatic and sensual meaning, make it an attractive and moving name. Women named Limor are often perceived as having a complex and rich personality, combining emotional sensitivity with determination and inner strength. The name suggests a person who knows how to appreciate the beauty and delicacy in life, but also possesses spiritual depth and high consciousness.
