Eithan is a contemporary Spanish-inflected spelling of Ethan, from the Hebrew Eitan meaning "firm," "strong," or "enduring." The original Ethan has been a top-ten American name for over a decade; Eithan is its freshly dressed cousin, gaining particular ground in Latin American families in the United States. It entered the top 500 around 2017 and has been climbing steadily. The added I softens the first syllable without changing the sound, a subtle signature on a familiar name. Two syllables, clean and sturdy throughout, with the same biblical weight at its root. Familiar and distinctive all at once.
