## What is Shemot?

Choosing a baby name? It is one of the most exciting decisions you will make. Shemot helps you do it calmly, together.

What is inside:

A shared couple list
Send one link to your partner and you both add names to the same list, tap hearts, and comment. When a name gets a heart from both of you, you find out in a moment you will not forget.

Real meaning for every name
Over 2,300 Hebrew names with carefully written meanings, the origin of each name, and the actual biblical verse where there is one. No auto-generated filler.

Official statistics
How many babies received each name every year, full yearly rankings, and rising or falling trends, updated to the latest official release of the Israeli Central Bureau of Statistics.

Gematria
The full gematria value of every name, with a letter-by-letter breakdown.

Name of the day
A new name every day, including a home screen widget. Start the morning with a little inspiration.

Smart Hebrew search
Search by name, first letter, meaning, gender, origin, theme, or syllable count. Works without niqqud and with Latin transliteration too.

Swipe mode
Swipe right on names you love and your list builds itself.

Works offline
The entire collection is stored on your device. Delivery room, airplane, or Shabbat, the app is always available.

No ads. Ever.

Free: full search, all meanings and gematria, name of the day and the widget, a personal list of up to 10 names, and joining a couple list your partner created.
A single one-time purchase unlocks: creating a shared couple list, an unlimited personal list, unlimited swiping, and full popularity history back to 1949. One purchase covers both of you. No subscription.
