[Opinions] found out where it came from
in reply to a message by abbasdaughter
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).

Hey, that's quite interesting
mainly because I have a son named Gideon, and I suppose that puts me at slightly higher than normal risk of having a grandson named Jether. LOL!
Seriously, thank you for posting what you found out. So often we never do learn what the story was, and it's nice to know.
Thanks very much again. :-)

no prob... Personally, I think Jotham (Gideon's youngest son) was a better-sounding name than Jether (though I wouldn't use that one either)... and your son may choose to avoid that category all together... Who knows.
