I'm trying to find a Hebrew (not Yiddish) name to name after my grandmother. Her name meant noble. Does anyone know of a girls name that means noble?

Was her name Ethel? Several girls in our family are named after an Ethel, they are all Adira.

Sarah, Nesicha, Sarina...
Yentel is Yiddish but means noble.

What about Hadar or Tiferet or even Tehilla? I like Amira and Atara too as some posters suggested.
I can't think of any Hebrew girls names that are precise synonyms for 'noble'.
Sarah is probably the closest but even Sarah is really more about rank and power than nobility as a personal attribute.

Please don't name your child Nesicha. Especially in Israel.
Tehila is a nice option.

I'm very not Israeli. My friend chose Nessiha (English Nesicha). I have no idea where it passes or not. People find it very cute around here afaik.

I forgot about Sarit, which is of course a derivative of Sarah.
