Zebulon

Jacob's tenth son

Zebulon is a biblical name borne by the tenth son of Jacob and Leah in the Hebrew Bible, and by extension the Israelite tribe descended from him.

The name has remained in occasional use as a given name, particularly in American contexts with strong biblical naming traditions.

Zebulon Pike, the American explorer for whom Pikes Peak is named, is perhaps the most notable bearer.

The name also appears in various place names across the United States.
