Nephtali is a beautiful boy’s name of French and Hebrew origin, meaning “my struggle” or “my strife.” While Nephtali may borrow its meanings from the biblical name Naphtali, you might also know it from Chicano writer Nephtalí De León, the mind behind I Will Catch the Sun, and many other children’s poems, stories, and essays.
