Reuben

Reuben is a Hebrew name, derived from the phrase meaning see, a son, traditionally interpreted as a reference to God having seen the suffering of the biblical patriarch's mother, Leah. In the Book of Genesis, Reuben is the firstborn son of Jacob and Leah and the ancestor of one of the twelve tribes of Israel. The name has been in use among English speakers since the Protestant Reformation, when biblical names became widely fashionable. Ruben is a common variant found across Spanish, Portuguese, and several other European traditions.
