This research begins with the objective of offering a reflection on how Jewish immigration in Brazilian territory has been able to permeate the anthroponymic system of Portuguese with first names of his tradition. In this way, we intend to observe how the anthroponymy linked to the Jewish tradition has been conformed to the Brazilian reality, through the observation of the use of forenames of Hebrew origin in registers in Brazil, based on data provided by the IBGE, on the Nomes no Brasil platform. The present article is structured as follows: 1) at first, we carry out a brief foray into socio-historical aspects of Jewish immigration to Brazil, so that it is possible to understand the context in which the first names of this tradition are inserted in the Brazilian community; 2) next, we highlight the methodological aspects of how the data were collected and analyzed; 3) we offer, then, a more detailed observation of the data, considering the forenames in use in Brazil, whose etymology goes back to Hebrew, observing those that are exclusively affiliated to the Jewish tradition and those that are part of the Judeo-Christian framework; 4) finally, we make brief final considerations that include highlights of aspects of the study undertaken.
