Esaw is a unique and distinctive given name of Hebrew origin, derived from the biblical character Eshcol (also spelled Esau), who was the elder twin brother of Jacob in the Book of Genesis. In Hebrew, Esaw means "hairy" or "rough," which may have been associated with his appearance as described in the Bible. The name gained popularity due to its connection to biblical figures and has since become a unisex choice for parents seeking an uncommon yet meaningful name for their child.
"This name was quite popular between 1907 and 1958, with spikes in the teens and early twenties during certain years like 1923, 1924, and 1955. However, it seems to have declined after the 1960s."
