How is this different from the Hebrew (Old) generator?

This generator pairs a given name with an inherited surname from a 482-entry pool, giving Reuben Steiner. The Old-Hebrew generator instead builds a patronymic with no inherited family surname.

Why is the male given-name bank so much larger?

The male bank holds 831 entries against 387 female, so male given names vary more than female ones before repeating.

Do these suit modern Israeli characters too?

Yes. The given and surname banks carry a broad Hebrew and Jewish label, so the output works across Israel and the wider Jewish world.

How male hebrew/jewish names are built

This set pairs a gender-tagged given name with a shared surname pool: 831 male and 387 female given names drawn against 482 family names. Unlike the patronymic Old-Hebrew generator, this one uses inherited surnames, so every pull is a gendered given name followed by a family name, giving Ager Reinhartz, Reuben Steiner and the female forms Riva Goulston and Yarden Yakobovitch.

Ager Reinhartz
male given name from the 831-entry bank plus a surname from the 482-entry pool
Riva Goulston
female given name from the 387-entry bank plus a 482-entry-pool surname
Reuben Steiner
male given name plus a 482-entry-pool surname

Naming notes

The same 482-entry surname pool serves both genders. The male given-name bank (831) is more than twice the female one (387), so male forenames vary more before repeating. This is the inherited-surname set, distinct from the Old-Hebrew patronymic generator. The set carries a Hebrew and Jewish label.
