Hebron First Name Meaning

Hebron is a male name of Hebrew origin, meaning "Community." The name originates from the Palestinian city of Hebron in the southern West Bank, a significant religious and historical center. According to the Bible, Hebron is one of the oldest cities in the Levant and is associated with Abraham, who settled there and bought the Cave of the Patriarchs as a burial place for his wife Sarah. The city is also recognized in the Bible as the place where David was anointed king of Israel. Hebron is often considered one of the four holy cities in Judaism as well as in Islam and Christianity. The name "Hebron" appears to trace back to two northwest Semitic languages, with a basic sense of 'unite' and connoting a range of meanings from "colleague" to "friend." The Arabic name for Hebron, al-Khalīl, translates the ancient Hebrew toponym Ḥebron, understood as ḥaḇer (friend).
