The meaning of a name

When I began our adoption journey I knew that Anna would be her name.....Well after meeting Ruhama and her birth mother, her name will be Ruhama Anna. Ruhama's mother named her Ruhama because she felt that God had shined Mercy on her after the events of her birth and Ruhama is a bibilical name meaning having obtained mercy. She loves her name and so do I.
