Names with covenantal depth

Hebrew baby names — Eli, Ezra, Rafael, Yael, Lior, Oren — carry biblical weight without religious heaviness. Most have transparent meanings (Eli — ascended, Lior — my light, Oren — pine tree) and work cleanly in both observant and secular families. Short, dignified, age-flexible.
