History and Origin
Jethro can refer to:
English: name borne in the Bible by the father of Moses's wife Zipporah (Exodus 3: 1; 4: 18). It seems to be a variant of the Hebrew name Ithra, said to mean ‘excellence’, which is found at 2 Samuel 17: 25. It was popular among the Puritans, but then fell out of general use. It was borne by the agricultural reformer Jethro Tull (1674–1741). In 1968 a ‘progressive rock’ group in Britain adopted the name ‘Jethro Tull’, and shortly afterwards the given name Jethro enjoyed a revival of popularity.
