Meaning: The name of God

In Jewish tradition, Hashem is a profoundly sacred term that literally means “The Name,” used in reference to God when speaking or praying without uttering the divine name directly. While it is traditionally a title rather than a personal name, it has occasionally appeared as a first name in Jewish communities out of reverence and spiritual devotion. Naming a child Hashem reflects a deep connection to faith, holiness, and identity rooted in millennia of religious practice.
