The name Achan is of Hebrew origin and means "troubler" or "disturber." It is derived from the Hebrew word "ach" which means trouble or disturbance. According to the Bible, Achan was a character who stole dedicated items from Jericho after its conquest by the Israelites, which brought God's wrath upon them. This action led to his name becoming synonymous with sin and disobedience in Jewish tradition. Despite its negative connotation in religious contexts, Achan is still used as a given name today, particularly among families of Jewish faith or those who appreciate its unique sound and meaning.
"Achan was born five times between January 1st and December 31st of the year 2005."
