Baby Girl Naming Ceremony: Standard Text
Outside of Israel, manyJews, including
reform, conservative and modern orthodox
traditionally give their babies a Hebrew name for use in
religious rituals, such as the calling up to the aliyah
(benedictions) and the ketubah (marriage contract), and a secular
name for purposes of civil birth records and daily use. The
mainstream and ultra orthodox as well as the chassidic Jews give
their babies Hebrew and/or Yiddish names, though at times they mark
the birth certificate with a secular name, to be used for purposes
of civil and legal records but not for daily use.
The Hebrew name takes the form of "[child's name] bar [father's name]" for boys, or "[child's name] bat [father's name]" for girls. The name itself has no religious significance, and while it is often a Hebrew or Yiddish name, it can be a name from any language or culture. Ashkenazi Jews traditionally name their children after a recently deceased relative, a famous departed rabbi or sage, and/or biblical figures. Sephardic Jews often name children after living grandparents as well as in honor of rabbis, famous religious figures and/or biblical figures.The following is the recitation by the father of the new born girl.
