Dan (Judge)

Rootדין (d-y-n)
Core Meaningsjudging, governing, contending, administering justice
Semantic Rangeto judge, govern, vindicate, contend, execute justice; as a name, it identifies the tribe and territory of Dan
Conceptual SignificanceDan, son of Jacob and progenitor of the tribe of Dan, is named in connection with divine judgment (Genesis 30:6). The name embodies the theme of YHWH as judge and vindicator, reflecting Israel’s understanding of divine justice and governance.
Morphological NotesPrimarily a masculine singular proper noun (HNp). In one occurrence it reflects a Qal participle masculine singular absolute ("judging"), directly expressing the verbal sense of the root.
Rendering RationaleThe name דָּן derives from the root דין (d-y-n), meaning "to judge" or "to administer justice." As a masculine singular proper noun (HNp), the rendering preserves both the personal name and its root sense by glossing it as "Judge," reflecting its grammatical singular masculine form.
