In addition to secular names, religious Jews also use a Hebrew name for liturgical purposes, in the form (NAME ben/bas father/mother's Hebrew name). Converts use "NAME ben/bas Avrohom vă-Soro".

Nicknames may be formed with the ''-in'', ''-lăn'', or the double diminutive ''-(i)non''. For example, ''Yacăv'' 'Jacob' may become ''Yancin'', ''Yałcin'', ''Yaclăn'', or ''Yacnon''.
