Origin: Hebrew

Meaning: Delight; Pleasantness; Favorable

Tirzah may be pleasing to the ear, but this feminine Hebrew name best suits those unafraid to abandon pleasantries and defy expectations. Though Tirzah means "delight," “pleasantness,” and “favorable,” it remains open to the bearer whether they wish to live their life to please others or follow their own ambitions. After all, within the Hebrew Bible, Tirzah stood as one of the five daughters of Zelophehad, who successfully petitioned to change Mosaic hereditary law to grant them the full inheritance of their father's property. Associated with a great feat at a time when such a request was unthinkable, Tirzah forever embodies the belief that every ambition is worth pursuing—especially those that delight baby most.
