Meaning of Korban

Korban strikes a compelling balance between ancient resonance and modern flair. Rooted in Hebrew for “sacred offering” or “gift,” this two-syllable name (KOR-ban) wraps a warm spiritual heritage in a crisp, approachable sound. Though still rare—it ranked 916th in the US with just eight newborns named Korban in 2024—its gentle climb speaks of quiet confidence, like a hidden gem gleaming among well-worn favorites, and with fewer Korbans around the playground, there’s little risk of mix-ups at recess. An afternoon in the backyard feels livelier when Korban rings out, promising curiosity and adventure. For families seeking a name that blends heartfelt meaning with memorable charm, Korban delivers depth without losing its easygoing spirit.
