Judge (masculine singular proper name)

Rootדין (d-y-n)
Core Meaningsto judge, govern, contend, execute justice
Semantic Rangepersonal name (son of Jacob), tribal designation (tribe of Dan), territorial name (their allotted land), northern city of Israel; by extension associated with judgment.
Conceptual SignificanceDan’s name commemorates Rachel’s declaration that God had "judged" her cause (Genesis 30:6). The tribe’s identity is thus etymologically tied to divine justice, and the name reinforces the biblical theme of YHWH as Judge and vindicator of His people.
Morphological NotesProper noun, masculine singular (HNp). The form דָּן is a qatal-pattern noun functioning as a personal and tribal name. Occasionally appears in verbal form from the same root (e.g., Qal participle), but here it is a proper noun.
Rendering RationaleThe name דָּן (Dan) derives from the root דין, meaning "to judge." Rendering it as "Judge" preserves the root meaning while reflecting its function as a masculine singular proper name referring to Jacob’s son, the tribe, or the territory bearing his name.
