Amitai

Meaning of Amitai

Amitai is a warm, two-syllable Hebrew name meaning “my truth.” With roots in the Hebrew Bible—as the father of the prophet Jonah—it carries an air of steady honesty and timeless faith. Pronounced ah-mee-TIE, it rolls off the tongue like a gentle stream, blending seamlessly into English conversation while offering just enough sparkle to feel special. Though still rare in the US—hovering around the 900th spot with fewer than a dozen boys each year—it’s precisely that rarity that makes Amitai stand out (in the best way possible) at kindergarten roll-call. Perfect for parents seeking a name rich in history, full of character, and brimming with modern charisma.
