Perah is a feminine given name of Hebrew origin, from the noun peraḥ (פֶּרַח), meaning “flower” or “blossom.” It evokes imagery of blooming and renewal and is often chosen to express ideals of beauty, growth, and hope.

Used within Jewish communities from the medieval period onward, the name appears as Perach/Perakh (reflecting the guttural ḥ/kh) and the explicitly feminine Perachah/Peracha. In modern Israel it enjoys a quiet revival among nature-themed names, while the simplified Perah is common in English to avoid the “ch” sound. Related forms include the rare masculine Perachyah/Perachiah (“YHWH causes to blossom”). Near-homophones such as Farah (Arabic “joy”) are unrelated in origin. Variants: Perah, Perach, Perakh, Peraḥ (scholarly), Perachah/Peracha; short forms Peri or Pera. The core meaning centers on “flower; blossom,” extending metaphorically to “to flourish.”
