Draft:Inon (Given name)

Inon (Hebrew: יִנּוֹן, 'it shall flourish') is a hebrew given name and according to the tradition of the jewish Sages it is one of the four possible names of the Messiah.

The source of the name is in the book of Psalms (Chapter 72, Section 17): "May his name endure forever; may his name (Inon) be continued as long as the sun; may men also bless themselves by him; may all nations call him blessed."

According to Kabbalah, Inon is attributed to the Messiah because it is multiplied by ten (reign count) of the explicit name י ה ו ה in Gimatria.

Inon is from the verb nin, in the future we will act - יינון - to remember, to exist. In biblical language, Nin was used to indicate the descendants of a person, therefor the name is associted with flourishing as well.
