Or the light of my life or something similar.

Answer:

Liora is one of our top choices for a girl. It is Hebrew and mean 'my light. Elior is the male version Some others: GIRLS: Zohar – light, brilliance, Hebrew Photine – light, Greek Aberash – giving off light, Amharic Keren – ray of sunlight, Hebrew BOYS: Abner – my father is a light, Hebrew Lucius – light, Latin Tane – the Polynesian god of light
There is... (Boy) Abner - A Hebrew name meaning 'father of light'. (Girl) Aurora - 'Goddess of the dawn'. (Girl) Eliora - A Hebrew name meaning 'the Lord is my light'. (Girl) Helena - A Greek name meaning 'bright, shining one'. (Boy) Ignatius - A Latin name meaning 'fiery'. (Boy) Kiran - A Hindu name meaning 'ray of light'. (Boy) ? Lucian - Named after a 'father of science fiction'. ? (Girl) Nera - A Hebrew name meaning 'candle' or 'light'. (Boy) Raiden - Named after a Japanese God of 'thunder' and 'lightning'. (Girl) Seraphina - 'Ardent and fiery'. (Girl) Tanwen - A Welsh name meaning 'holy fire'. (Both) Zohar - An Israeli name meaning 'light' or 'brilliance'. Hope this helped! ;)
Lior, Liora, and Liorit are Hebrew names that mean my light. Orli is a Hebrew name that means light is mine. Lux is Latin for light. Lucy and Lucia are both derived from Lux and also mean light. I would recommend going to a baby name site that allows you to search through names by their meanings, putting light into the search engine, and seeing what comes up. My personal favorite is Behind the Name. A lot of baby name websites will just put meanings that they think sound good or will appeal to parents but that have no historical or etymological basis, but Behind the Name is pretty reliable.
Lawliet means low light.
