Zephan
Meaning of Zephan
Zephan is a masculine name of Hebrew origin, serving as a concise variant of the Old Testament name Zephaniah, which means “God has hidden” or “the Lord conceals.” Its biblical roots evoke themes of divine protection and discreet strength, attributes that lend the name a subtle gravitas without overt familiarity. Pronounced ZEF-uhn, it strikes a balance between traditional heritage and modern simplicity, making it an appealing choice for parents seeking distinction within a familiar framework. In the United States, Zephan’s presence has remained modest—19 recorded occurrences in 2024 placed it at 905th—yet its consistent, low-key ranking underscores a steady niche appeal. Though it rarely climbs higher in popularity polls, its succinct structure and balanced phonetic profile suggest a name that wears well across both formal and casual settings.
