Dan (m)
[dan] from Hebrew, meaning ‘judge’.
The name is now considered a diminutive form of Daniel but is sometimes used as a name in its own right. The fifth son of Jacob (Genesis 30:3–6). His mother was Bilhah, Rachel’s servant, and he is the ancestor of one of the twelve tribes of Israel. When Jacob was dying, Jacob blessed his sons and he said Dan would ‘provide justice for his people’ (Genesis 49:16). One of his descendants was Samson, who was a judge (Judges 13).
