Ziv
Ziv is a Hebrew language word and name meaning light or glow. It is also an alternative name of the Hebrew month of Iyar found in the later works of the Hebrew Bible.
Some have written that the world was created twice. First God provided all his radiance and light, his 'Ziv' upon the world, but it was too much. On the second time, only one 'ziv', one ray of god's light, was enough.
