Laban 
Laban is a son of Bethuel, son of Nahor with Milcah; brother of Rebekah and father of Leah and Rachel, the wives of Jacob.
The name Laban comes from the unused root (lbn 1074), and is identical to the word (laban 1074a), white, a word which is often used to indicate leprosy. Some other derivatives: the verb (laben 1074b), be white; (lebanah 1074c), moon (a name derived from another word for moon is Jerah.); (lebonah 1074d), frankincense; the name (lebanon 1074e), Lebanon; (lebneh 1074f), poplar; (lebenah 1074g), bricks; the verb (laban 1074h), make bricks. The latter two are used in succession in Gen 11:3, where the tower builders say, "Let us laban labans and burn them thoroughly."
The name Laban means White.
