If you'd like a meaningful name for sharing your faith with baby, say shalom to Nuriyah! This Hebrew name means "light or fire of god," after the legendary angel, Nuriel. Beyond his talent for summoning hailstorms, this figure transformed into a giant eagle. He descended to the earth each evening to carry prayers on his wings. Your Nuriya will draw infinite strength from their heavenly name. They'll feel most themselves with the wind rustling their feathers and the warm sun on their back.
