Ikabod Origin and Meaning

The name Ikabod is a boy's name.

Ikabod is a variant spelling of Ichabod, a masculine name with Hebrew origins meaning 'no glory' or 'the glory has departed.' The name appears in the Bible as a character in the Book of Samuel. This alternative spelling with a 'k' gives the traditional name a more modern and distinctive appearance while maintaining its biblical connections. Ikabod has never been commonly used, making it an extremely rare choice that stands out. The name gained some literary recognition through Washington Irving's character Ichabod Crane in 'The Legend of Sleepy Hollow,' which adds cultural depth to its biblical origins. Though uncommon, the name offers parents a choice with historical significance and literary associations while providing a truly unique option with its variant spelling.
