Senesh is the Hungarian surname. Hannah Senesh (Szenes, 1921-1944) was the Hungarian-Jewish poet and one of seven Mandate Palestine paratroopers parachuted into Nazi-occupied Europe by the British Army in 1944. Captured by Hungarian Gendarmes, tortured but refusing to give up her radio codes, she was executed by firing squad in Budapest at 23. Her diary entries and poems — especially Halikha LeKesariya ("A Walk to Caesarea") — became foundational texts of modern Hebrew literature and Holocaust memory.
Buried on Mount Herzl in Jerusalem; her poems are sung at Yom HaShoah ceremonies worldwide.
Senesh 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 Senesh reduce to 7, The Seeker. This is a traditional interpretive system, not a factual claim about the name.
