Origin: Hebrew

Meaning: strip and accumulate; to rouse oneself; to be laid bare;

Eran is a boy's name of Hebrew origin given to a myriad of meanings and modes of expression. Originating from the Hebrew root ערר ('arar), Eran is related to its two-fold meaning "to strip and accumulate." It's a verb that acknowledges that abundance in one space often demands the emptiness in another, whether it is the formation of clouds, a city, or even intellect. From this deeply reflective root comes the verb עור ('ur), which can mean both "to rouse oneself" or "to be laid bare." Whichever action Eran may be required to take in any given moment—vulnerability or resourcefulness—they can feel comfortable knowing it comes naturally and with a greater purpose.
