אבידן

Avidan is an ancient biblical Hebrew name with deep and moving significance. The name is composed of two elements: "Avi" - my father, and "Dan" - judge or judgment. The literal meaning of the name is "my father is judge" or "my father judged," reflecting a message of justice, protection, and leadership. The name expresses the profound connection between father and son, while incorporating values of justice and righteousness that are fundamental pillars in Jewish tradition. The root "Dan" recalls the tribe of Dan, one of the twelve tribes of Israel, strengthening the familial and national connection embedded in the name. In the Bible, Avidan son of Gideoni appears as the prince of the tribe of Benjamin during the wilderness wanderings. He was one of the leaders of the people during the time of Moses, participating in the census of the people and in the dedication offerings of the Tabernacle. The biblical figure of Avidan represents responsible leadership, commitment to the people and their values, and the ability to bear public responsibility. The name carries with it a legacy of honor, integrity, and devotion. In Jewish tradition, the princes of the tribes were considered people of high spiritual and moral standing, so the name Avidan also conveys values of personal excellence and moral leadership. In modern Israeli culture, Avidan is a rare and special name that preserves the connection to biblical sources while sounding contemporary and strong. Parents who choose this name express a desire to give their son a profound identity connected to tradition, while emphasizing values of justice, family, and leadership. The name is suitable for parents seeking a name with rich meaning that is not too common, a name that combines emotional power with historical depth. Avidan carries with it a sense of stability, responsibility, and courage - qualities that many parents hope to see in their children. The name also recalls the importance of father-son relationships and the transmission of values from generation to generation, making it an especially meaningful choice for families who value the continuity of tradition and connection to their roots.

In Kabbalah, the name Avidan represents the connection between the personal-familial dimension and the spiritual-righteous dimension. The father mentioned in the name is not only the biological father, but also the Heavenly Father - God, the Supreme Judge. The name expresses the internal tension between judgment and mercy, between the attributes of kindness and severity. In the world of the Sefirot, the name is connected to both the attribute of judgment and the attribute of kindness, where the father represents the source of life and the judge represents order and structure. The bearer of this name carries the responsibility to balance justice with mercy, judgment with love.
