A male given name of Hebrew origin meaning strong or firm.
From Hebrew 'Eitan' (איתן) meaning strong, firm, or mighty. Used biblically (Ethan the Ezrahite), it became popular in modern English-speaking countries, especially in the U.S.
Ethan means 'strong' in Hebrew—it's one of the few names where the meaning is still powerful in English, literally describing what parents hope their son will be! Biblical names are like prayers encoded into identity.
