Ethan












Name Nerds main

FOR REAL: An anglicization of the Hebrew name Eitan, Ethan means "solid; firmness; enduring; long-lived." It is the name of an obscure Old Testament character, and wasn't used as a given name until the Puritans, who were into giving babies names of obscure biblical characters, picked it up in the 1500s.
