Jireh

Jireh comes straight from the Hebrew scriptures, the second half of Yahweh Yireh, the Lord will provide, the name Abraham gave to a mountain in Genesis. For centuries it was a theological phrase more than a given name, until contemporary worship music, especially Elevation's 2021 hit, carried it onto cradle cards and birth announcements. At 938 and climbing, it reads devotional without being heavy, two syllables with a long rising ee at the end. Unisex in American use, lyrical in sound, Jireh is a name that opens like a prayer and closes like a promise kept.
