Absalom

Absalom is a biblical name that means "father of peace" or "my father is peace" in Hebrew. It has been used for centuries despite its association with a tragic figure in the Bible, Absalom, who rebelled against his father, King David. However, the name itself has a positive meaning as it combines two Hebrew words, "ab" and "shalom," meaning "father" and "peace" respectively.
