Limor is a girl’s name of Hebrew origin, meaning “myrrh.” Myrrh is a resin that comes from the bark of certain trees, and was used throughout history to create perfume and incense. It’s thought to have antibacterial and anti-inflammatory qualities, and in some ancient cultures, it was mixed with wine and used as a painkiller. Back then, myrrh was considered more valuable than gold, making this a fitting name for your equally precious baby.
