Nurit is a female name of Hebrew origin, meaning "Flower." The name carries a rich historical significance and is associated with a community settlement in northern Israel, located on Mount Gilboa. Established in 1950 by Yemeni immigrants, the village was named after the nearby Arab village Nuris. Following its capture during the 1948 Arab–Israeli War, the settlement has undergone various transformations, from a moshav to an army base, and eventually plans for re-establishment as an ecovillage. The name Nurit reflects beauty and vitality, resonating with the imagery of a blooming flower. Its Hebrew roots and the village's connection to nature and renewal add depth to its significance. Whether as a name for a female child or as a reference to the settlement, Nurit embodies the enduring beauty and resilience of a flower.
