Edom First Name Meaning

Edom is a male name of Hebrew origin, meaning "Red." It is derived from the Hebrew word for "red," which is also related to the name of its founder, Esau, in the Hebrew Bible. The name is associated with an ancient kingdom that once existed in the areas south of present-day Jordan and Israel. The Edomites, descendants of Esau, are mentioned in several historical and biblical sources, including Egyptian inscriptions and the Tanakh. The kingdom flourished between the 13th and 8th centuries BC, and after its decline, the Edomites migrated westward and later converted to Judaism. The name Edom carries historical and biblical significance, reflecting the rich heritage of the ancient kingdom and its people.
