Gezmané is a Hebrew given name for females. It means "olive branch" or "tree of peace". This name has significant historical and cultural importance in Judaism.
The name Gezmané comes from the biblical story of Noah's Ark. After the great flood, Noah sent out a raven and then a dove to find land. The dove returned with an olive leaf, which was a sign that the waters had receded and dry land was found. This event is commemorated in Judaism as the "Day of the Olive Branch".
In Jewish tradition, Gezmané symbolizes peace, hope, and renewal. It represents the idea that even after a great catastrophe, there can be rebirth and rebuilding.
The name has been used throughout history among Jews, particularly in Israel and among Jewish communities around the world. Some notable figures with this name include Gezmané Dover, an Israeli actress and comedian, and Gezmané Shafir, a prominent Israeli lawyer.
Today, Gezmané continues to be a popular choice for parents seeking a meaningful name with deep roots in history and culture. It is often given to girls born around the time of the Jewish holiday Tu B'Shevat, which celebrates the New Year of the Trees.
