What is the meaning of the name Hoglah ?

The baby name Hoglah is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced HOG-lah (IPA: /ˈhɒɡlə/).

Hoglah is Hebrew in Origin.

Hoglah is a feminine given name of Biblical Hebrew origin, from חָגְלָה (Ḥoglāh), most likely meaning "partridge." The element appears also in the place-name Beth-hoglah ("house of the partridge") on the Judah–Benjamin border, reinforcing the avian sense. English Bibles standardize Hoglah, but variant transliterations include Hogla, Choglah (reflecting the guttural ḥ), and the Latinized Hegla.

Known from the Hebrew Bible (Numbers 26:33; 27:1; 36:11; Joshua 17:3), Hoglah is one of Zelophehad’s five daughters - Mahlah, Noah, Milcah, Hoglah, and Tirzah - whose successful plea for inheritance established a key legal precedent in ancient Israel. Despite that association with justice, the name has seen only sporadic use in Jewish and Christian communities and remains rare today. For a softer sound, some opt for the clipped form Hogla; there are no widely used diminutives.
