I love the name, [name]Selig[/name]. [name]Just[/name] wondering whats the history on it? I know it’s [name]German[/name] and [name]Zelig[/name] is the Yiddish form.
Other front runners for us: [name]Noam[/name] and [name]Asher[/name].
Well it’s the [name]German[/name] word for “blessed”. It’s not a name in Germany, since word names are very uncommon and often not even allowed here, I mean as first names. [name]Selig[/name] probably is used as a surname. The history? Well since it’s not really a name but a word, I guess that’s the history.
The pronunciation is something between “SEH-lig” and “SEH-lich” ([name]German[/name] “ch”, a sound that you don’t have and I have no idea how to describe"
I pronounce it Seh-lig and [name]Zelig[/name] is Zeh-lig… I have been finding its used for Jewish families more than [name]German[/name]. So it must be Hebrew?
