Zevulon
Zevulon Origin and Meaning
Zevulon is a masculine name with Hebrew origins, serving as a variant of Zebulun (or Zevulun), who was the tenth son of Jacob in the Bible. The name derives from the Hebrew word 'zeved' meaning 'gift' or 'dowry,' essentially conveying 'honored gift.' In biblical context, Zebulun became one of the twelve tribes of Israel. This more elaborate spelling variation maintains the name's strong biblical heritage while offering a slightly distinctive form. Though uncommon in mainstream usage, Zevulon holds significance in Jewish communities, particularly among more traditional or Orthodox families. The name carries historical gravitas and religious significance, appealing to parents seeking names with deep spiritual roots. Potential nicknames include Zev, which independently means 'wolf' in Hebrew, adding another layer of meaning.
