π Name Origin & Meaning
Meaning:
Possibly derived from Ugartic zbl meaning "prince". In the Old Testament Zebulun is the tenth son of Jacob (his sixth son by Leah) and the ancestor of one of the twelve tribes of Israel. Genesis 30:20 implies two different roots for the name: ΧΦΈΧΦ·Χ (zaval) "to dwell" and ΧΦ΅ΧΦ΅Χ (zeved) "gift, dowry". These are probably only folk etymologies.
