Etymology
The PN LABAN appears in Genesis 24:29, 50, and as a GN in Deuteronomy 1:1.[1] The PN lbn also appears in Ugaritic.[2] It is possible that the name derives from the Hebrew lābān “white, pale.”[3] Because the Hebrew feminine form lĕbānâ means “full moon,” the biblical PN could also be a theophoric element analogous to the Babylonian names containing the theophoric name Sîn, meaning the moon god. This would be especially meaningful since the biblical Laban lived in Haran (Genesis 27:43; 29:4), which (like Sumerian Ur) was a center of worship of the Moon-god Sîn.[4]
