Pridon
Fewer than a hundred Polish men carry it, and not one boy has been given it this century: most Poles will never meet a Pridon. The root is Hebrew, with the sense of "third".
Pridon Pronunciation
Pridon is pronounced PREE-don (/ˈpridɔn/).
What Pridon means
Where Pridon comes from and what it has meant to the people who carry it.
Pridon traces back to Hebrew, where the name holds the sense of "third". That meaning often points to birth order, a third child counted after two who came before. Hebrew has a long habit of naming that records a fact about the person, and a number is about as plain a fact as a family can keep.
The sense here stays plain. It says: third.
Read from a Polish class register, Pridon lands as an unfamiliar entry, with no name-day of its own in the calendar. It stays rare in Poland, and the trail behind it runs to Hebrew rather than to Kraków or Gdańsk. What the name gives is direct, a word for the number three fixed to a person.
