Eph is a short, unique, and modern-sounding given name of Hebrew origin. It is derived from the Hebrew word "af" which means "faith". This name is often used as a nickname for longer names like Ephraim, but it can also stand alone as a first name in its own right. In recent years, Eph has gained popularity as a unisex name, although historically it has been more commonly used for males.
"In 1919, there were five babies named Ephraim."
