Meaning and etymology of the Hebrew name Gershon
|
|
| | |
Gershon 
Gershon is the first born son of Levi, a brother of Merari and Kohath, and father of Libni and Shimei. His family became known as the Gershonites. They were to take care of the outer coverings of the tabernacle and the curtains that marked the outer court and the altar (Numbers 3:25-26). Gershon is called Gershom in 1 Chronicles 6:16.
The name Gershon is probably the same name as Gershom, derived of he verb  (garash), meaning to cast up, drive out or away, divorce, expel, etc. See the name Gerar for a better look at this verb. The waw-nun extension denotes a personification of the root: Expelled One, Exiled One.
