What does Reuvenos mean?
The name Reuvenos is derived from the Hebrew name Reuben, which means 'son of Jacob' or 'friend of Jacob'. In the Old Testament, Reuben is the eldest son of Jacob and Leah. He was born when Jacob had a dream about a 'little son coming up from his feet' (Genesis 29:32). As the eldest son, Reuben was given the birthright and the double portion of the inheritance. However, he lost his birthright because he disobeyed his father's instructions and slept with his father's concubine, Bilhah (Genesis 49:3-4). Despite this, Reuben is still an important figure in Jewish and Christian tradition. His name is a reminder of God's promises and the importance of obedience.
