Choosing a Name
Question
Is the name Alma, Almah, or Elmah problematic to give to a girl?
Answer
Hello
Almah is a suitable name for a girl.
[Alma means world, and Elmah is a word without meaning].
The recommendation of our teacher, the Gaon, Rabbi Ovadia Fried, shlita, is to choose a name from the Torah.
