Ethan, of Hebrew origin, signifies 'strong, firm, enduring'. This classic yet contemporary moniker has gained significant popularity in recent years. It is a short form of the biblical Ethan, one of the wise men who helped King Solomon build his temple. The name Ethan also appears in the New Testament as an early Christian convert and companion of Saint Paul. In literature, Ethan Allen was a notable American Revolutionary War hero, further contributing to its recognition.
"Ethan was a popular name from the late 1980s to mid-1990s, peaking at 37 births in 2002. It remained somewhat common until around 2015 but has since seen a decline in popularity."
