Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root גָּדַר (gadar), meaning "to wall up" or "to build a wall."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for Gedor in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a proper noun specific to Hebrew geography and genealogy.

Usage: Gedor is a name used in the Hebrew Bible, referring to both a person and a place. As a place, it is associated with a town in the territory of Judah. As a person, it refers to a descendant of Judah.

Cultural and Historical Background: Gedor, as a location, is mentioned in the context of the tribal allotments of Judah. It is thought to have been a fortified town, which aligns with its etymological roots related to building or enclosing with a wall. The town's strategic location would have made it significant in the defense and administration of the region. As a personal name, Gedor reflects the common practice of naming individuals after places or significant attributes.
