Jethro

Jethro is a masculine given name of Hebrew origin, borne in the Bible by Moses's father-in-law.

The name saw modest use among English speakers, particularly in rural communities.

In American pop culture, Jethro Bodine from *The Beverly Hillbillies* cemented an association with rustic simplicity, making the name shorthand for an unsophisticated country person: He's a real Jethro.
