- Esau
Origin:
HebrewMeaning:
"hairy"Description:
Esau is one of the neglected E-beginning boys' biblical choices--it's been off the popularity lists since 1902! The name of Jacob's twin brother, son of Isaac and Rebecca, Esau could make an ideal twin choice, if you don't mind its meaning and the difficult story in the Bible behind the name, as convoluted and full of drama, tragedy, and reconciliation as any soap opera
- Isav
Origin:
Russian and Ukrainian variation of Esau, HebrewMeaning:
"hairy"Description:
Esau is a rarely-used Old Testament name in the US, perhaps due to the character's biblical fate. Isav is one step removed, which may make it more palatable to parents.
