What Does the Name Aileth Mean?
Aileth is a rare variant spelling of the Hebrew name Ayelet, which means doe or gazelle. The Hebrew word is אַיֶּלֶת (ayyelet), a feminine noun for a female deer or gazelle. In the Hebrew Bible, the phrase Ayelet ha-Shachar (Doe of the Dawn) is the title of Psalm 22; this is a poetic image, while the literal meaning of the name is the animal. Ayelet is the more common English transliteration, and Aileth is a less common spelling of the same name.
Aileth Name History & Origins
The Hebrew word אַיֶּלֶת is ancient and appears in biblical poetry, but its use as a personal name is modern. Ayelet became a given name in modern Hebrew, particularly in Israel and in Jewish communities elsewhere. The spelling Aileth is an English-language variant rather than a standard Hebrew transliteration; the usual Hebrew form is אַיֶּלֶת, commonly written Ayelet.
