US Popularity:34
Origin:Hebrew
Meaning:Solid, firm, enduring, perpetual
Ethan is a boy's name befitting of a determined and resilient tiny tot. The English form of the Hebrew Eṯan, Ethan means "solid," "enduring," "firm," or "perpetual," reminding your little one to be assertive and keep striving for their goals. Instilling these traits in your kiddo may result in the occasional stand-off, when you say it's naptime and they insist that it's not! This moniker also appears several times in the Hebrew Bible, though Ethan the Ezrahite is perhaps the most well-known biblical Ethan. Renowned for his immense wisdom, Ethan the Ezrahite is believed to be the author of Psalm 89. Whether you love it for its religious significance or its celebration of perseverance, Ethan is a wonderful choice for your newest addition. One of Ethan's biggest fans in the Bump community, Jaytee501 says, "I love Ethan, it's classic, and I would honestly use it tomorrow if I were having a boy and having him tomorrow!"
