Zilpha, what a zesty and rare gem of a girl's name! With its Hebrew origins, it carries a touch of ancient elegance and a sprinkle of biblical charm. This name, meaning "frailty," encapsulates the idea that your little one's quiet strength will often go unnoticed before being recognized for their remarkable resilience. Drawing inspiration from its biblical roots, Zilpah, Leah's trusty handmaid, bore two sons for Leah when she could no longer do it herself. Interestingly, in 1888, Zilpha experienced a burst of popularity in the United States. Zilpha is a gentle reminder that gentleness and vulnerability possess extraordinary power in a world that often celebrates boldness and robustness.
