Naming Ceremonies Sephardic Custom 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. Sephardic Jews celebrate "Zeved HaBat," (Hebrew זֶבֶד הַבָּת) a ritual that has its origins in Sephardic and Italian Jewish customs dating back to the seventeenth century. The name of the ceremony derives from Genesis 30:20, preceding the birth of her daughter Dinah, Leah says; "Zevadani Elohim Oti Zeved Tov" (God has granted me a gift). The following is the recitation by the father of the new born girl in the Sephardic Community. The words in parentheses are included in the Moroccan tradition, but not in the London tradition.
