Kishon

Meaning of Kishon

Kishon is a Hebrew name that carries the spirit of an ancient river winding through biblical Israel—steadfast, life-giving, and steeped in the dramas of the Book of Judges. Its two-syllable flourish, KY-shawn (/kaɪˈʃən/), feels both grounded and lyrical, like a soft current under a warm sun. In the U.S., Kishon has bobbed in and out of the 700–900 popularity range over the past four decades, showing just enough presence to be approachable without blending into the sea of Michaels and Jacobs on the playground. This subtle distinction makes it perfect for parents craving a name with depth, history, and a hint of poetic flair. Kishon is a hidden gem—easy to pronounce, rich in cultural roots, and ready to chart its own course.
