Nisan is a boy’s name of Hebrew origin. In the Babylonian and Hebrew calendars, Nisan is the month when barley ripens, and is the first month of spring. The name is borrowed from the ancient Akkadian language, and ultimately originates from the Sumerian word nisag, meaning “first fruits.” It may also be related to the Hebrew word nes, meaning “miracle.” A fitting name for a little one who’s sure to be nothing short of miraculous! Nisan could also be the perfect choice for a spring baby.
