[Opinions] found out where it came from
the boy's father's mn is Gideon and apparently in Judges, Gideon had a son named Jether, so it would be Hebrew origins... While I love Hebr. and some Hebr. names, this one still wouldn't make my list... Oh well... a friend of mine is thankful his parents couldn't agree on their original names for him and settled on Aaron (dad wanted to name him Gersham... makes me think of baby food).
