Haddassah is a variant of Hadassah, the Hebrew name meaning myrtle tree.
Haddassah is a spelling variant of Hadassah, the Hebrew name meaning myrtle tree. The myrtle has long carried associations of beauty, peace, and the green life of the land, and the name appears in the Hebrew Bible as the original name of Esther. That biblical link gives it a deep historical center, while the botanical meaning keeps it gentle and living.
The extra d and added vowel shape the name into something fuller and more emphatic. Haddassah feels devotional, traditional, and slightly more ornate than the standard spelling, which can make it seem both rooted and distinctive. For many families, that kind of spelling carries identity as much as style.
The name holds together scripture, nature, and memory, and that combination gives it a quiet strength. Haddassah feels like a name with lineage, but also with softness and grace.
