אלידן

Elidan is a rare and ancient Hebrew name composed of two linguistic elements: 'Eli' and 'Dan'. The first part 'Eli' refers to God, the Divine, and is a common prefix in many Hebrew names expressing divine connection or spiritual belonging. The second part 'Dan' is the name of one of the tribes of Israel, the tribe of Dan, whose name derives from the root D.W.N meaning to judge, to adjudicate. The name Elidan appears in the Bible as the name of the prince of the tribe of Benjamin during the wilderness period, and it carries a dual meaning: 'My God has judged' or 'God judges'. The name reflects a deep faith in divine justice and heavenly judgment, expressing a worldview in which divine justice is the supreme guide and judge. In the historical context, Elidan son of Chislon was the prince of the tribe of Benjamin in the days of Moses, and he is mentioned in the Book of Numbers in connection with the census of the people and the princes who brought offerings for the dedication of the Tabernacle. His role as tribal prince was central and honored, and he represented the tribe of Benjamin in all important decisions and events of the people of Israel in the wilderness. The name Elidan thus carries meanings of leadership, communal responsibility, and deep connection to the values of justice and judgment. It reflects the ancient Hebrew tradition in which personal names carried deep religious, social, and cultural significance, not merely simple identity labels. As a rare and ancient name, Elidan carries with it a special charm of connection to the glorious past of the people of Israel. It suits parents seeking an original name with deep meaning, a name that bridges between ancient tradition and the contemporary. The name expresses values of justice, faith, leadership, and responsibility, and carries with it the historical memory of a tribal prince who stood at the head of his people in a formative period. In an era when parents seek unique names with depth, Elidan offers a rare combination of antiquity, linguistic beauty, and spiritual significance. The name also carries the heritage of the tribe of Benjamin, the smallest tribe yet also the one from which came Israel's first king, Saul. Thus, the name Elidan connects the deep roots of the past with the renewed Hebrew identity of our times.
