Korban

Korban is traditionally a masculine name with Hebrew origins, though it appears here listed as feminine. In Hebrew, 'korban' (קָרְבָּן) means 'offering' or 'sacrifice,' particularly referring to sacred offerings in religious contexts. The name appears in the Bible and Jewish traditions, associated with gifts presented to God. The alternative spelling with a 'K' instead of 'C' (as in Corban) gives it a more contemporary feel. While uncommon in most Western countries, it carries spiritual significance for those familiar with its religious background. Korban has a strong, distinctive sound that works well in modern naming contexts. The name might appeal to parents seeking a meaningful religious name that remains uncommon, or those drawn to its powerful phonetic quality and symbolism of devotion and sacred purpose.
