Zabulan Origin and Meaning

The name Zabulan is a boy's name.

Zabulan is a masculine name representing a variant spelling of Zebulun, one of the twelve sons of Jacob in the Bible. The name comes from Hebrew origins, possibly meaning 'dwelling' or 'honor.' In biblical tradition, Zebulun became one of the twelve tribes of Israel.

It carries the weight of ancient tradition and spiritual significance while offering a unique sound that stands out in modern naming practices.
