Haran First Name Meaning

Haran is a male name of Hebrew origin that means "Mountaineer." In the Book of Genesis in the Hebrew Bible, Haran is depicted as the son of Terah, the brother of Abraham, and the father of Lot, Milcah, and Iscah. His death occurred in Ur of the Chaldees, and he is considered the ancestor of the Moabites and Ammonites through his son Lot. The etymology of the name suggests that it possibly comes from the Hebrew word "har," meaning "mountain," combined with a West Semitic suffix used in proper names. The name Haran is also associated with other individuals mentioned in the Bible, such as the son of Caleb and the son of Shimei. This name carries a strong biblical and historical significance, symbolizing strength and endurance, traits often associated with mountaineers.
