Meaning

Tzemach is a Hebrew name that means “branch” or “sprout”. It is derived from the Hebrew word “tzemach”, which means “to grow or to flourish”. In the Torah, Tzemach is used as a messianic title for a future king who will come from the line of David. The prophet Jeremiah prophesied that this king would be a “righteous branch” who would reign wisely and do what is just and right. Tzemach has become a popular name in Jewish culture as a symbol of hope and renewal.
