My grandmother, obm, passed away 2 years ago. Her yahrtzeit is tomorrow and I am due any day and was just wondering if anyone new any male versions of golde. I know we are having a boy...otherwise I would have gone from Golde to Zahava (I prefer translating Yiddish names to Hebrew anyway) but cannot think of a male version of either Golde or Zahava...
Any thoughts?

Maybe Meir for the idea of light/shine?

Paz seems common in Israel.
Neither are my style at all (I'm into classics), but I think a translation works better than Gold = shiny = Meir.

Yair, since he was also Mordechai's father and mentioned in Megillas Esther.
Or anything with ohr - Meir, Uriel, Shneur, Ori - for "layehudim haysa ora".

It's common in Israel as the gas stations.

Gedaliah is a "great" name and it has the same letters as Golda. Rabbi Paysach Krohn says you can use a name with the same letters.

As a name I mean. I heard it around a lot.

Ofir - From the Hebrew, meaning “gold.” In the Bible (Genesis 10:29), a son of Yaktan.
