      Variations

      Bechor, Sephora
      The name Bechora originates from Hebrew and holds a significant meaning of Eldest Daughter. In Hebrew culture, the notion of the firstborn, particularly the firstborn daughter, held great importance as the legal inheritor and successor. The name Bechora thus pays homage to the status and responsibility associated with the eldest daughter within a family.

      Throughout history, the name Bechora has appeared in various contexts, reflecting its significance within Hebrew culture. In ancient times, the name would have been bestowed upon a firstborn daughter as a mark of distinction and as a reminder of her future role as a leader within the family. Furthermore, the name might have been used to commemorate biblical figures or to honor ancestral traditions.

      In modern-day usage, the name Bechora continues to bear the legacy and meaning of Eldest Daughter. While less common than traditional names, it is still occasionally chosen by Hebrew-speaking families as a reflection of their cultural heritage and the importance they attribute to the firstborn daughter. This name serves as a reminder of the historical and cultural significance within Hebrew communities, and it holds a sense of pride and responsibility for those who bear it.
