Name story:

Dvora (דְבוֹרָה) means "bee" in Hebrew. It is the name of the prophetess Dvora, the fourth Judge of pre-monarchic Israel in the Tanakh. In the book of Judges there is a victory hymn of the Jewish people's victory over the Canaanite king who had oppressed them, called the Song of Dvora.

My Dvora is named for this prophetess, which was also the name of her grandmother. She is affectionately called "Dvoraleh." The prophetic association with her name and the feats of its bearer alludes to my Dvora's role in her story.
