Gershom

Meaning of Gershom

Gershom springs from ancient Hebrew soil—Moses chose it for his first-born when he was “a stranger in a strange land”—and the name still carries that adventurous passport stamp today. Picture a little caballero with a backpack of curiosity, always ready to salsa through new experiences; that’s the energy parents feel when they say GEHR-shuhm out loud. Biblically, it nods to resilience and faith on the move, yet in modern baby-name charts it dances quietly around the 900 mark, making it uncommon enough to earn double-takes without diving into the “How do you spell that again?” club. For families who love classical roots with a dash of wanderlust—and maybe a sprinkle of Latin fire—Gershom offers a warm, almost tropical breeze of possibility: a name that whispers history, hums originality, and promises your son the confidence to plant his flag anywhere he roams.
