Naming a Child Ela / Yael
Question
Is there an issue with naming a girl Ela or Yael? And do they have any specific origin? Of course, there is an advantage to using a name that is explicitly written, but is there any issue with these specific names?
Answer
Hello,
It is preferable to name 'Yael'.
Neither has a source.
