Most often considered a boy’s name, Eran is of Hebrew origin and comes straight out of the Bible: Eran was a great-grandson of Joseph who is mentioned in the Book of Numbers. Not surprisingly, this simple, solid name would be a fantastic choice for a baby boy born to parents of strong faith. By definition, Eran means “industrious,†or perhaps “watchful†or “awake.†A few sources also list Eran as an alternative to Erin, as a female name of Irish origin. Therefore, Eran could also function as a unisex name, boy or girl, perfect for families who want a surprise!
