There are two Midianites mentioned in the Torah that are both named "bird":
- Tziporah - Moses' wife
- Tzipor - Balak's father
This does not seem coincidental to me. Was it common for Midianites at the time to name people "bird" or after some bird species? If so, what was the reason? Is there a message the Torah is telling us about these two people named similarly? (One masc. one fem.)
