לַ֠עְדָּן
𐤋𐤏𐤃𐤍
Laedan
Ladan
Proper name designating two different Israelite individuals; La‘dan. The name occurs as a personal name in genealogical contexts: first, a leader of a Levitical family (1 Chronicles 23:7, etc.), and second, as a descendant of Ephraim (1 Chronicles 7:26). The meaning of the name is uncertain; it is likely connected to the root לַעַד (la‘ad), which may relate to perpetuity or continuation, but as a proper name, its semantic content is secondary.
