לי-אן

Li-An is a compound, modern name that combines two different linguistic elements to create a unique harmony. The first part, "Li," comes from the Hebrew biblical root and is a preposition expressing belonging, closeness, and personality. In biblical Hebrew, "Li" appears numerous times in contexts of spiritual ownership and intimate connection, such as "The Lord is mine and I shall not fear" or "My beloved is mine and I am his." The second part, "An," can be shortened from the name "Anna" or "Hannah," or it may be influenced by Western cultures where "Ann" is a common name symbolizing grace and favor. The combination of "Li" and "An" creates a name with dual meaning: on one hand, it expresses personal belonging - "my grace," "my favor," "my light." On the other hand, the name carries a universal value of beauty, gentleness, and charm. Compound names like Li-An have become popular in recent decades in Israel, as parents seek names that blend tradition with modernity, Hebrew with international influences. The name conveys a sense of lightness and beauty while maintaining a connection to the Hebrew language. Li-An is a name particularly suited to our era - an era of cultural globalization, openness to the world, and simultaneous preservation of Hebrew identity. The name sounds natural and familiar in both Hebrew and other languages, making it an excellent choice for families seeking a name with an international character. The soft, melodic sound of the name, together with its deep meaning, makes it one of the special and beloved names among young parents. The name is especially suitable for girls, but in recent years it has also been used for boys, indicating its flexibility and universality. Li-An is a name that evokes light, hope, and inner beauty - values that every parent wishes to bestow upon their child.
