Chaya (Ob)

Chaya is a Hebrew feminine given name. It means "life" or "living." It is often transliterated as Chaya, Haya, or Chaiya. The (Ob) notation following the name likely indicates the individual is deceased, with "(Ob)" being an abbreviation for "obiit," a Latin term meaning "died." Therefore, "Chaya (Ob)" signifies a deceased individual named Chaya. The name is common in Jewish communities, reflecting the importance of life in Jewish tradition.
