Asnat is the Hebrew name from Genesis (Joseph's Egyptian wife). Asnat Barzani (c. 1590-1670) was the 17th-century Kurdish-Jewish woman widely considered the first female rabbi in Jewish history — head of the famous yeshiva of Mosul (in modern Iraq). Daughter of Rabbi Samuel Barzani, she inherited the rabbinic role from her father and her husband, taught Torah and Kabbalah to generations of students, and ruled on Jewish legal questions. Three Hebrew letters and poems by her survive.
Featured in modern Kurdish-Jewish memorial literature.
Asnat does not currently appear in the US Social Security Administration's top 1,000 girls' names, so we don't publish a US rank or birth count for it. That says nothing about the name's standing elsewhere in the world — only that it sits outside the ranked US data we rely on.
In Pythagorean numerology the letters of Asnat reduce to 1, The Leader. This is a traditional interpretive system, not a factual claim about the name.
