If baby's arrival has truly been a blessing and you want a boy's name that reflects that, Yishai is a wonderful choice. Hailing from Hebrew origins, this cute moniker spreads a message of faith, meaning "the Lord exists." It is the original name behind Jesse, best known as the namesake of King David's father. Beginning as a humble father and farmer, he raised his son to become the most famous king of the Israelites, and is also distantly related to Jesus. Choosing the name Yishai entrusts your little one with the wholesome role of a bright beacon of positivity and links them to the roots of their faith.
