Yadin

Yadin is a Hebrew name, used as both a first and last name, which comes from the root word "din" (law or judgment). Yadin is the future tense of the verb conjugated in the third person, meaning “(he) will enact justice,” “(he) will make law” or “(he) will judge.”

Antiquity

The word Yadin appears in the Hebrew Bible (Genesis 49:16, Deuteronomy 32:36, 1 Samuel 2:10 and elsewhere) usually referring to the Almighty who will judge nations "Yadin Amim Bemeisharim" and similarly in other contexts.
