Tu B’Shevat, the “New Year of the Trees,” is perhaps the most grounded and “human” holiday on the calendar. In 2026, Tu B’Shevat begins at sundown on February 1st, a time when the sap begins to rise in the trees of Israel, signaling a hidden rebirth even in the midst of winter. Choosing a Tu B’Shevat baby boy name is about honoring growth, resilience, and the deep roots of heritage. You might find yourself drawn to Ilan, the classic Hebrew name for “tree,” or Erez, which carries the sturdy, unshakeable weight of the cedar. These names aren’t just labels; they are a promise that your son will grow tall and offer shade to those around him.
But a “tree-inspired” name doesn’t have to feel like a botanical manual. To give his name a 2026 “burstiness,” look for names that evoke the energy of the forest and the vitality of the harvest. Names like Oren (pine) or Alon (oak) offer a short, rhythmic punch that feels incredibly modern and sophisticated. Whether you are looking for a name that sounds like a vintage pioneer or a modern environmentalist, a Tu B’Shevat-inspired name tells your boy that he is part of a grand, living cycle rooted in history but always reaching for the sun.

Choosing a Name to Root His Future
Selecting a name for your baby boy is one of the first and most significant acts of parenting. It is a gift that he will carry with him through every milestone, every challenge, and every triumph. When you choose a name from this “Tu Bishvat” collection, you are providing him with more than just an identifier; you are giving him a sense of grounded strength to carry within.
Consider the atmosphere of the holiday the community planting saplings, the consumption of the seven species, and the shared hope for a fruitful year. Names like Ilan (tree) or Silas (of the forest) serve as a bridge between the physical beauty of the earth and the inner resilience you wish for your son to possess.
