Originating from Hebrew, Reuben is a biblical name that refers to the age-old saying “behold, a son.” This name comes from the eldest son of Jacob and Leah, who was the forefather of one of the twelve tribes of Israel in the book of Genesis. In recent years, Reuben has started to build popularity in mainstream media. But no matter the ebbs and flows of pop culture, your baby Reuben will no doubt become a household name if they put their mind to it.
