Hebron 
The name Hebron occurs three times in the Bible. The most famous Hebron is a city in Canaan, which was originally named Kiriath-arba. Abraham lives in its vicinity and he buys a cave there from the sons of Heth to bury Sarah (Gen 23). Moses sends spies to check out Hebron's defenses (Num 13:22), Joshua conquers it (Josh 10), expels the enigmatic Anakim from it (Josh 14:12), gives it to Caleb (Josh 14:14), pronounces it to be in the territory of Judah and assigns it to the Kohathite Levites (Josh 21:11). Later God Himself gives Hebron to king David as the capital of his kingdom (2 Sam 2:1).
Other Hebrons are a son of Kohath (Ex 6:18), and a man from Judah (1 Chr 2:43).
The name Hebron comes from (habar 598) meaning be joined, coupled, allied. Derivatives are: (heber 598a), company, association; (haber 598c), associate, companion; (hoberet 598e), a joint (a connection, such as used in the tabernacle Ex 26:10); (habbar 598f), associate, partner; (mehabbera 598k), binder, clamp.
The waw-nun extension denotes a localization of the root. The name Hebron means Place Of Alliance or Allied Town.
Another name based on the same root is Heber
