Zevulun

זְבוּלֻן

• Gender: Male
• Origin: Biblical / Rabbinic Hebrew
• Meaning: exalted house

• Zevulun is one of the great patriarch names of the Torah, belonging to the last son born to Jacob and Leah and the founder of one of the twelve tribes of Israel. It means "exalted house," and in the biblical story, Leah chose it to mark a moment of honor and belonging within her family. For parents drawn to the weight and beauty of tribal names, Zevulun carries a sense of deep rootedness and distinguished heritage that few names can match.

  There's a deep, resonant sound here that ages beautifully, from a baby wrapped in a blanket to a name on a diploma. It is rare enough to turn heads but rooted enough to feel instantly legitimate. Your kid won't share it with three classmates, and when people ask about it, the story is magnificent.
