The name Eitan (Ethan) is one of the most ancient and meaningful Hebrew names, carrying profound cultural and historical depth. The basic meaning of the name is "strong", "firm", "solid" and "permanent", expressing qualities of stability, inner strength and resilience in the face of difficulties. In Biblical Hebrew, the root E-I-T-N refers to something that is perpetual, unceasing and uncompromising - like an ever-flowing stream (nachal eitan) that flows year-round and does not dry up even during the hot summer season. The name testifies to a steadfast, stable and reliable character, to a person who can be trusted in any situation and at any time. Several important figures bearing the name Eitan appear in the Bible, the most prominent being Ethan the Ezrahite, one of the four great sages to whom King Solomon was compared. In 1 Kings it is written: "For he was wiser than all men, than Ethan the Ezrahite", meaning that Solomon was wiser than Ethan the Ezrahite, which attests to Ethan's greatness as an exceptional sage. Ethan the Ezrahite is attributed as the author of Psalm 89, a profound and moving psalm dealing with God's covenant with David and questions about the suffering of the righteous. Additionally, the Bible mentions Ethan son of Zimmah from the Levites, and Ethan son of Kishi, who were from the family of singers and musicians in the Temple. The name also appears in descriptive contexts - "nachal eitan" (ever-flowing stream) describes a permanent stream whose waters never cease, and "eretz eitanah" (firm land) refers to strong and fertile soil. In modern Israeli culture, the name Eitan returned to great popularity in the twentieth century, especially after the establishment of the State of Israel, as part of the movement to revive original Hebrew names. Israeli parents appreciate the name for its strong and pleasant sound, positive meaning and deep biblical roots. The name expresses values of inner strength, mental stability, reliability and wisdom - qualities every parent hopes to see in their child. Eitan is a name suitable for all ages and life situations: for a baby it sounds gentle and full of life, for a child and youth it provides a sense of security and strength, and for an adult it conveys maturity, responsibility and life wisdom. The name has become one of the most popular names in Israel, and is also borne by many public figures, artists, athletes and cultural personalities, which reinforces its status as a quintessentially Israeli-Hebrew name that combines ancient tradition with contemporary relevance.
