A rare Biblical name borne by one of the sons of Ishmael (and the grandson of Abraham and Hagar), Jetur derives from either the Hebrew yoter meaning "more, increase" or from the word toor meaning "column, rank". Another possibility however is that it comes from yatar meaning "abundance" and making it a cognate of Jethro.
 Also appearing as a place name in the Bible, lying east of Gilead, Jetur was borne by 19th century American politician, Jetur Rose Riggs. Traditionally pronounced yeh-TOOR in Hebrew, English speakers may pronounce it jeh-TOOR, as in the case of Joshua (Yeshua) and Jonah (Yona), making it a possible full name for nickname Jet.
