  1. I had three criteria’s in mind:
    1. A name I didn’t know anyone with;
    2. A bible name with a purpose and; and
    3. A name that I felt couldn’t be made fun of.

    The main reasons why this name was so special was because of:
    1. NCIS (thanks Gibbs!)
    2. In the bible, Moses’s father-in-law was a faithful man of the Most High. Even when he didn’t know about God he chose to worship and be led by Him.

    My prayer is that just what the meaning indicates (‘abundance’), that Jethro will have love, patience and kindness in abundance and be a follower of the Most High.

  2. We names our son Jethro. We wanted a Christian name. When reading a book with all names listed in the Bible with references and descriptions, we landed on Jethro who was Moses’ father-in-law.

    We also had just finish the NCSI series and loved the Leroy Jethro Gibbs character.

  4. With out first we had a name all picked out and when I first held him and called him by name I immediately said “That is not his name! We need a new one”
    So this time we had ideas but hasn’t settled at all. My husband had a feeling it should start with a J and we wanted a biblical name or at least with a meaning that meant something to us. We had a few but none stuck. Then a few months back we all got sick. I had a fairly high fever and was laying down. My husband was in another room, also sick. I was almost asleep when I thought “Jethro” out of no where. I texted it to my husband with no explanation, just the name. He replied “told you it started with a J”
    We came up with other names and went through them all, but sure enough when he was born it just fit.
    We love the story of Moses and Jethro was his father in law. Willing to take on this man on the run because he had killed someone. Also who had been raised in a royal home and had a lot to learn about living outside of that. But he took him in, gave him a job, taught him a lot, and even let him marry his daughter. That’s a good man. Jethro means Abundance. We are abundantly blessed.
