Eitan is Hebrew in Origin.
Eitan is a Hebrew masculine name (אֵיתָן) meaning firm, enduring, steadfast, with connotations of permanence, strength, and resilience. In the Hebrew Bible it appears as Eitan ha-Ezrachi - rendered in English as Ethan the Ezrahite - celebrated for wisdom and traditionally linked to Psalm 89. The underlying Hebrew adjective eitan denotes durability and perennial vigor, giving the name an ancient yet energetic feel.
Used across Jewish communities through the centuries, Eitan was revived with the rise of Modern Hebrew and remains common in Israel. In the Anglophone world, Ethan - its established English form - surged in the late 20th and early 21st centuries, raising awareness of the Hebrew original. Variants include Eytan, Etan, and Eithan; the English Ethan is a close cognate, while rare feminized forms like Eitana occasionally appear. The name’s steady, timeless meaning appeals to parents seeking a blend of biblical heritage and contemporary clarity.
