Eitan

Eitan is a Hebrew name derived from the biblical Hebrew word 'etan,' which means 'strong,' 'enduring,' or 'permanent.' The name has its roots in the Old Testament and is commonly used in Jewish communities.

In the Bible, the word 'etan' is used to describe the strength and durability of materials or objects, such as the 'etan' wood used in the construction of the Temple in Jerusalem. The name Eitan, therefore, carries the connotation of strength, resilience, and endurance.

Eitan is a popular name among Hebrew speakers, particularly in Israel, where it is often chosen for its positive and powerful meaning. It is considered a strong and masculine name, befitting a boy who is wished to grow up to be resilient and steadfast.

While the name Eitan has Hebrew origins, it has also gained some popularity in non-Jewish communities, particularly in Western countries, as a unique and meaningful name choice.
