Ithan is most commonly viewed as a modern phonetic variant of the Hebrew name Ethan. It shares the same etymological roots meaning 'enduring' or 'solid,' though it is much rarer in usage. In some contexts, it may also be linked to Celtic or Gaelic roots, though its primary association remains with the biblical Ethan.
