G
Meaning & History
Gilad (Hebrew: גלעד) is a masculine given name and surname, primarily used in modern Israel, derived from the Old Testament place name Gilead. This name traces its roots to a biblical mountainous region east of the Jordan River, known in Hebrew as meaning "heap of witness" (Gal'ed). In the Hebrew Bible, Gilead also appears as a person, the grandson of Manasseh (Numbers 26:30), reflecting the name's dual nature as both a geographical term and a personal identifier.
