Typically Jewish names?

General Name Discussion
1

Please give me some typically Jewish names for both boys and girls. Not super popular like [name]Ann[/name], [name]Jacob[/name], [name]Ezekiel[/name], [name]Asher[/name] or [name]Susannah[/name], but some which make you immediately think the bearer is Jewish.
So far I have [name]Ruth[/name], [name]Revekka[/name], [name]Jesse[/name], [name]Elisha[/name] and [name]Phineas[/name]. Any other unusual but familiar ideas appreciated:)

[name]Chana[/name]
[name]Abelia[/name]
[name]Hadassah[/name]
[name]Aliyah[/name]

Boys
[name]Ariel[/name]
[name]Eleazar[/name]
[name]Hanan[/name] (Muslims use it as a girl’s name, but on a boy it’s pretty much only used by Jews) also Elchanan and Yochanan.
Benzion/[name]Ben[/name]-Tziyon
[name]Reuven[/name]
[name]Hillel[/name]
[name]Herschel[/name]
[name]Noam[/name]
[name]Chaim[/name]
[name]Judah[/name] and [name]Yehudah[/name] (but [name]Jude[/name] is more general)
[name]Tevye[/name], [name]Tobiah[/name], [name]Tobias[/name].

Girls
[name]Shoshana[/name] (much more so than [name]Susannah[/name] which is more general)
[name]Yael[/name]
Chaia
[name]Michal[/name]
[name]Tamar[/name]
[name]Noa[/name]

I have never seen [name]Revekka[/name] in my life. I assume its a variant of [name]Rivka[/name]/[name]Rifka[/name]? ([name]Rivka[/name] being Hebrew for [name]Rebecca[/name]/[name]Rebekah[/name] and [name]Rifka[/name] being a Yiddish variant).

Which raises the question, are you looking for specifically Hebrew or Yiddish names, or it doesn’t matter? I have both on my list.
