Meaning: A biblical name meaning "place of deer."

Aijalon is a name with deep historical and biblical significance. It originates from the Hebrew word "Ayyalon," meaning "deer" or "place of deer." This name is associated with two biblical places: a valley and a city in the territory of the tribe of Dan, and another city in the territory of Zebulun. The name is significant due to its connection to the miracle of Joshua, where the sun and moon stood still in the Valley of Aijalon (Joshua 10:12-13). Over time, the name has evolved from being primarily associated with geography to being used as a forename, reflecting its strength and protection.
