Mordechai

If you're looking for a name that celebrates baby's Hebrew heritage, consider Mordechai, a masculine name that means "servant of Marduk" in Persian. In historic Mesopotamia, Marduk was a beloved ancient god and patron deity of the city of Babylon. As a variant of Mordecai, you can also choose this moniker in honor of one of the primary figures in the Hebrew Bible's Book of Esther. Mordechai can also be interpreted as "of bitter oppression," which introduces your kiddo to challenging themes and may help build resilience. Mordechai has traditional and religious connotations, making it an excellent option if you're looking for a faithful baby name with a rich history.
