Reuben

Reuben is a Hebrew name, derived from the phrase meaning see, a son, traditionally interpreted as an expression of a mother's hope that her child would be recognized and loved. In the Hebrew Bible, Reuben is the firstborn son of Jacob and Leah, and the ancestor of one of the twelve tribes of Israel. The name was adopted into English use through the biblical tradition and has remained in steady if modest circulation in English-speaking countries. Ruben is a common variant used across Spanish, Portuguese, and other European languages.
