Ephratah is an uncommon and unique given name of Hebrew origin, derived from the place name "Ephrath." The original Hebrew word means "fruitful," suggesting a connection to fertility, growth, and abundance. This name holds historical significance as it is mentioned in the Bible, appearing in the genealogy of King David (Ruth 4:10). In some instances, Ephratah may also be associated with Ephraim, one of the twelve tribes of Israel. The name has gained limited usage over time, particularly among families seeking distinctive and meaningful names for their children.
Ephratah saw an increase in births over these years, with twice as many babies born in 2021 compared to 2013.
