Keidar is an ancient biblical Hebrew name with profound meanings and fascinating cultural layers. The name first appears in the Book of Genesis as one of the sons of Ishmael, son of Abraham, and carries with it a rich tradition of nomadism, independence, and spiritual wealth. The word 'Keidar' in biblical Hebrew relates to the root K.D.R, associated with darkness, dark color, and the black Bedouin tents made from goat hair. The name symbolizes the intriguing contrast between external simplicity and internal wealth, between outward modesty and hidden treasures. In biblical culture, Keidar was the name of a large and wealthy Arab tribe that settled in the Arabian desert and was known for its abundant flocks, successful merchants, and brave warriors. The prophet Isaiah mentions 'the glory of Kedar' as a symbol of wealth and fame. In the Song of Songs, the bride compares herself to 'the tents of Kedar,' describing tents that are dark on the outside but full of beauty and richness within - an image that has become a symbol of modesty behind which spiritual depth and true value are hidden. The name Keidar expresses the idea that one should not judge by external appearance, and that true beauty and truth are found in the inner self. In modern times, the name Keidar has returned to use in Israel as a rare and special name that attracts parents seeking a name with deep biblical roots, unique sound, and rich meaning. The name is particularly suitable for parents who value modesty, inner depth, connection to the Arab-Eastern tradition of the Jewish people, and spiritual independence. Keidar is a name that evokes desert life, the freedom of nomads, and the wisdom of those who know how to hide their true treasures from prying eyes. This is a name for a child whose parents hope will grow up to be a person of depth, with strong internal values, who will not be tempted by superficiality or external arrogance.
