Efrain

Efrain is a Spanish variant of the Hebrew name Ephraim, which is derived from the Hebrew word "parah," meaning "to be fruitful" or "productive." The name has its origins in the Bible, where Ephraim was the second son of Joseph and Asenath.

In the Book of Genesis, Ephraim and his older brother Manasseh were adopted by their grandfather Jacob, who blessed them and treated them as his own sons. The tribe of Ephraim later became one of the most prosperous and influential tribes in ancient Israel.

The name Efrain has been used in Spanish-speaking cultures for centuries, particularly among Jewish and Christian communities. It is a widely recognized name in countries like Spain, Mexico, and other Latin American nations.

While Efrain is traditionally a male name, it is sometimes given to girls as well, although this usage is less common. The name carries a sense of fruitfulness, productivity, and prosperity, making it a popular choice for parents seeking a meaningful and culturally significant name for their child.
