      The name Palti has its origins in Hebrew, a Semitic language spoken by ancient Israelites. In Hebrew, Palti translates to My deliverance. This name holds deep spiritual and symbolic meaning, reflecting the concept of being rescued or saved. It carries an element of hope and redemption, signifying the belief in divine intervention for personal salvation.

      Throughout history, the name Palti appears in various biblical accounts and narratives. One notable occurrence is found in the Old Testament, specifically in the Book of Numbers.
