Explanation

Mother

Em (ame)

אֵם

a	The ‘Aleph’ is the picture of an ox head and illustrates the strength of an animal. It can mean strong, power, or leader.
M	The ‘Mem’ illustrates water or waves. As a nomadic people, the Hebrews feared the waves or waters of the seas, so the letter often meant chaos, mighty, or blood. On the other hand, water sustained life and in this instance, it carries that meaning.

Strong Water — Giver of Life. Em is the one who brings life to the tent and holds the home together.
