Techelet is not merely a color, but a deep spiritual symbol connecting heaven and earth, the divine and the human.

This meaning gives the name exceptional spiritual depth. The commandment to place a thread of techelet in the tzitzit was intended to remind us of all God's commandments and strengthen the connection between humanity and the Creator. Girls bearing this name are often perceived as having deep souls, strong spiritual connections, and the ability to rise above materialism. The name Techelet conveys a sense of holiness, purity, and aspiration toward the sublime.
