Hi Dave,

The names look Hebrew to me, but I haven't been able to confirm this for sure. If they are Hebrew names, they may be nicknames. I say this because the proposed meanings are "beautiful" and "sparkly" (I think I got the info from HALOT). Such a pair of meanings for midwives seems too literary to be true.

Shalom,
Bryan

Do we know anything about the names Shiphrah and Pu`ah? They sure look Hebrew.
