Strength courses through this name's two powerful syllables. Ancient yet surprisingly contemporary, it bridges millennia with ease, carrying historical gravitas into modern contexts. The name has experienced renewed appreciation recently, appealing to parents who want something traditional but not overly common. There's a noble quality to it—dignified without being stuffy, substantial without being heavy.
The hard consonants give it backbone, while the vowel sounds keep it approachable. It's particularly appealing for families seeking names with spiritual or biblical connections who want something beyond the most frequently chosen options. The name stands confidently on its own, needing no nickname, though affectionate shortenings emerge naturally in family settings.
It photographs beautifully, looks distinguished in print, and sounds authoritative when spoken. For parents wanting their son's name to convey both heritage and strength, this delivers on both counts.
