Looking for ideas for names with a teshuva/emuna theme. We are Israeli, dati leumi if you must box us. We like names that are not made up and have a source in tanach etc even when unusual. (Our other kids have more unusual names but none are made up as such, and all contain shem Hashem, so looking for something similar).
Thanks in advance for the ideas.

No, that's "amanit" Amana is a covenant.

Pretty sure I've heard the name Shvut'ya somewhere (not sure if boy or girl) and not sure if made up.

Oops, you're right. I thought it had a double meaning, because you have all the treaties and agreements that are "amanat whatever."
My first thought, though, was:
אִתִּי מִלְּבָנוֹן כַּלָּה אִתִּי מִלְּבָנוֹן תָּבוֹאִי תָּשׁוּרִי מֵרֹאשׁ אֲמָנָה מֵרֹאשׁ שְׂנִיר וְחֶרְמוֹן מִמְּעֹנוֹת אֲרָיוֹת מֵהַרְרֵי נְמֵרִים.
(שיר השירים, ד:ח)
There, it's the name of a place.

Yes, it's both. My guess is the name of the place is connected with brit bein habtarim which was in the same area.
Amana is also the name of the famous ulpana and the settler movement Amana, which (in mind at least) is named amana because it is realizing Hashem's covenant with the avot about having Am Yisrael settling the land.
