The name Gershon is of Hebrew origin. The meaning of Gershon is exile. Gershon is generally used as a boy's name. It consists of 7 letters and 2 syllables and is pronounced Ger-shon.
Biblical scholars regard the name as being essentially the same as Gershom (Hebrew: ×ÖµÖ¼×¨Ö°×©Ö¹××, Modern GerÉÅ¡om, Tiberian GÄrÅ¡Åm), which appears to mean a sojourner there (××¨ ×©×), and it is Gershom rather than Gershon who is sometimes listed in the Book of Chronicles as a founder of one of the principal Levite factions.
