Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for the name Nadab in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a proper Hebrew name. However, the concept of willingness or generosity can be related to Greek words like ἑκούσιος (hekousios - willing) or δωρεά (dorea - gift). Usage: The name Nadab means "willing" or "generous." In the Bible, it is used as a proper name for several individuals, most notably the son of Aaron and the second king of the northern kingdom of Israel. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, names often carried significant meanings and were sometimes reflective of the character or destiny of the individual.
