Meaning & History
Means "my people are generous" or "my kinsman is noble" in Hebrew, from עַם (ʿam) "people, nation, kinsman" combined with the suffix י (i) "my" and the verb נָדַב (nadav) "to willingly give" (by implication "to be noble"; also see Nadab). This is the name of several minor characters in the Old Testament, including the father of Elisheba (and therefore the father-in-law of Aaron (Moses' brother) and an ancestor of Jesus).
