Tirzah is an ancient feminine name with deep biblical roots, carrying meanings of beauty, grace, and pleasantness. The name appears in the Bible in two significant contexts: as the name of one of the wise and courageous daughters of Zelophehad, and as the name of an ancient capital city in the Kingdom of Israel. The linguistic meaning of the name is connected to the root "ratzah" - desire, affection, and pleasantness, expressing the special qualities of the name bearer: a woman who is desirable, pleasant, and accepted by those around her. In the Book of Numbers, the story is told of Tirzah and her sisters - Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, and Milcah - the daughters of Zelophehad, who became groundbreaking figures in Jewish history. After their father's death without male heirs, the sisters stood before Moses and the elders of Israel and demanded their right to inherit their father's estate. Their pioneering legal claim led to an important halakhic change in inheritance laws, and they came to be regarded as wise, courageous women with progressive social vision. Tirzah and her sisters symbolize feminine strength, the pursuit of justice, and the willingness to stand up for their rights even against the establishment. Their names became symbols of courage, wisdom, and female initiative. In addition to the familial context, Tirzah was also the name of an important city in ancient Israel. The city of Tirzah served as the capital of the northern Kingdom of Israel during the reigns of Kings Jeroboam son of Nebat, Baasha, and Omri, before the capital was moved to Samaria. In the Song of Songs, King Solomon compares the beauty of his beloved to the beauty of Tirzah: "You are beautiful, my darling, as Tirzah" - testifying to the city's status as a symbol of beauty and splendor. The name Tirzah thus combines both the personal-familial aspect and the geographical-cultural aspect, carrying meanings of beauty, grace, nobility, and honored status. In the modern era, the name Tirzah remains relatively rare, but it is chosen by families seeking a unique biblical name with historical and cultural depth, a name that expresses connection to roots and tradition while maintaining uniqueness and individuality.
